2835 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10039
The 8-unit, 5-story tenement building at 2835 8th Avenue in Harlem, owned by Keivan Farhadian, has a significant history of maintenance and safety concerns since 2018. The most pressing current issue is an open complaint from May 2025 regarding a malfunctioning electric/gas range, and recurring heat/hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints about these systems dating back to 2019. The building has also experienced problems with security and safety systems in apartment 3B, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as heating system deficiencies, which were cited in a January 2024 inspection.
Other notable recent events include multiple violations and complaints related to unauthorized smoking/vaping in smoke-free areas between 2024-2025, and a concerning rodent control situation documented between 2023-2024, with several inspections showing rat activity and bait application. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently reporting zero infestations since 2020. Historical records indicate previous serious concerns, including a failed rodent inspection in May 2024, and multiple violations regarding heating systems and appliances.
The property has had several Department of Buildings violations, including a 2023 citation for improper electrical installation by a restaurant tenant, and past issues with elevator and boiler maintenance in 2020. While there have been periodic inspections showing compliance with some health and safety requirements, the pattern of recurring heat, water, and appliance issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age (constructed in 1910) and classification as an old-law tenement are important contextual factors, as these properties often require more intensive upkeep to meet modern standards.
