Augrented Insights Report for 2640 8th Avenue

The 76-unit, 8-story residential building at 2640 8th Avenue in Harlem, managed by Mz 2640 Owner LP and constructed in 1983, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. As of June 2025, there are open complaints regarding water leaks (both heavy and slow flow) and ceiling paint/plaster issues that require attention. The building has faced recurring water-related problems, with multiple HPD service requests documented between 2022 and 2025, including heavy flow leaks in February 2025 and multiple instances of mold and unsanitary conditions.

A significant building-wide heat and hot water outage occurred in May 2025 but was reportedly resolved quickly. Recent inspections have revealed concerning patterns of rat activity, with multiple compliance inspections indicating the presence of rodents in 2024-2025. The building's elevator system has been identified as having no alternate service, with active complaints dating back to December 2024.

The property has also faced exterior maintenance challenges, with active Environmental Control Board violations from late 2024 citing failures to maintain building walls and facade. Historical violations include issues with improper gas dryer installation, door repairs, and various maintenance code violations that have generally been closed after correction. While the building has had limited bedbug incidents, with one reported case in 2023, the ongoing maintenance issues, including water leaks, heating systems, and pest control, suggest continuing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
