2817 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10039
Situated in Harlem, this 15-unit, 5-story old law tenement building at 2817 8th Avenue, owned by Craig Livingston and built in 1910, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints regarding heating and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint in April 2025 being closed due to lack of access for inspection. The building has also faced consistent indoor air quality concerns, with three separate complaints filed in late 2024 and early 2025, though specific details about these issues are not documented in the resolution descriptions.
The property has documented several sanitary condition violations, including a significant garbage/recycling storage issue reported in late 2024 that resulted in violations being issued following HPD inspection. Other notable maintenance concerns include plumbing issues (particularly in the bathtub/shower area), flooring problems, and various unsanitary conditions including pest infestations and mold, with multiple complaints filed throughout 2023-2024. The building underwent inspections for rodent activity from 2021-2025, consistently passing inspections except for one incident in September 2011.
Recent inspections in 2024-2025 indicate improved conditions, with passed rodent inspections. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since 2021, with no reported infestations in the most recent filing period from November 2023 to October 2024. Compliance inspections from 2022-2024 revealed various violations in apartment 2C related to self-closing doors, window guards, floor repairs, and carbon monoxide detectors, though these have been subsequently certified as corrected.
