Augrented Insights Report for 2548 8th Avenue

The 39-unit, 5-story residential building at 2548 8th Avenue in Harlem, owned by Joseph Zitolo, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in early 2025, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions and pest problems. The building underwent multiple heat and hot water outages in November 2023 that affected several units, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored after tenant complaints.

Multiple housing code violations were issued in 2024, particularly affecting apartment 2C, including issues with ceilings, walls, doors, and evidence of water leaks, which were officially certified as corrected in October 2024. The building has also faced pest control challenges, with documented cockroach and mouse infestations in unit 2A in 2024. While the building has maintained relatively good rodent inspection results in 2023 and 2024, passing inspections in March 2025 and September 2024, it has experienced some building system maintenance issues.

There are active violations regarding the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections from 2023 and 2018. Regarding bedbug history, documentation shows mostly non-infested status for the past few years, with only one documented infestation in apartment 2A in 2023-2024 and three in 2020-2021, all of which were reportedly addressed. A restaurant operating without a permit was reported in mid-2024, though the specific unit and nature of the establishment are unclear. The building underwent multiple inspections in 2023 and 2024, with varying results, including initial failed inspections for rodent activity in late 2022 and early 2023, followed by improved compliance in later inspections.
