2800 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10039
2800 8th Avenue is a 15-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building in Harlem, owned by Martin Kirzner and constructed in 1920. The property has experienced recurring issues with sanitation and maintenance requiring attention over recent years. Most notably, between 2024-2025, there were multiple complaints about rodent infestations, including violations in apartments 3B and 5C, as well as plumbing issues (toilet problems in apartments) and unsanitary conditions involving pests.
The building has also faced challenges with maintenance code violations, including problems with window guards in apartments 3B, 4A, and 5A during 2024. Infrastructure concerns are evident, with multiple emergency complaints regarding doors, plumbing, and heating systems, particularly in late 2023 and 2024. The property's rodent control efforts have shown mixed results, with several failed inspections in 2024 indicating rat activity, though recent inspections in 2025 have passed.
There was a significant gas utility violation in March 2023 concerning unpermitted gas work, which resulted in an ECB violation. While the building has reported no bedbug infestations in the past two years (2023-2025), the pest control history shows periodic infestations requiring attention. The building underwent several maintenance violations and repairs throughout 2023-2025, including work on flooring, walls, and garbage storage. Recent inspections have generally passed, suggesting some improvement in building maintenance, though multiple open violations from 2024 remain active as of the latest available data.
