2906 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10039

2906 8th Avenue is a 6-story, 15-unit residential building in Harlem, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Craig Livingston. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple heat/hot water complaints between May and June, three of which were classified as emergency situations. Additionally, there have been ongoing concerns regarding unsanitary conditions, particularly related to pests, with multiple complaints in 2025.

In December 2024, several housing maintenance code violations were documented, including inadequate heat supply and hot water issues affecting multiple apartments (2A, 6A, 2C, and 6C), as well as problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2A. The building's heating system access was noted as an issue in multiple inspections. Historical records show a consistent pattern of maintenance challenges, including a 2019 interagency complaint regarding building maintenance and an associated Environmental Control Board violation for failure to maintain code compliance.

Pest control efforts have been documented regularly, with rodent activity reported in inspections throughout 2024 and early 2025, though bait was applied during recent inspections in April 2025. The building has maintained a bedbug-free status since 2021, with no reported infestations or eradications in the last four reporting periods. While some violations have been resolved, the frequency of recent complaints and inspections suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention, particularly regarding heating, water supply, and pest control systems.
