Augrented Insights Report for 2709 8th Avenue

2709 8th Avenue is a 4-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Thomas Kang. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with nine complaints documented between 2023 and 2025, most recently in May 2025, suggesting ongoing systemic problems with building-wide heating infrastructure.

The building has also faced significant plumbing challenges, including multiple complaints regarding water supply, basins, and bathroom facilities between late 2023 and early 2025, with violations related to inadequate hot water and heating documented in January 2024. These plumbing issues are corroborated by Housing Maintenance Code violations involving inadequate heat and hot water supply, and the building has had persistent rodent activity, with multiple rat activity reports between 2023 and 2025.

Additional concerns include an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2020 regarding unpermitted installation of two AC units, and several open violations related to maintenance and safety standards, including a 2024 violation for locked access to the heating system in the basement. The building's maintenance history shows problems with insect infestations, though recent bedbug reports for 2023-2024 indicate no current infestations. While the building has undergone various repairs and improvements over the years, as evidenced by multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2019, the persistent nature of heating, plumbing, and pest control issues suggests ongoing challenges with property maintenance and systems reliability that affect resident comfort and livability.
