Augrented Insights Report for 2861 8th Avenue

2861 8th Avenue is a 6-story, 67-unit residential building in Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Craig Livingston. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with its elevator system, which has generated numerous complaints and violations in 2025 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" issues.

Currently, there are three active emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints from June 2025 related to door problems and a slow water leak. The building has a persistent rodent infestation problem, evidenced by multiple rat sightings and compliance inspections throughout 2024-2025, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 resulting in failure for "Other Reasons." The property has also faced significant issues with interior conditions across multiple apartments. Apartment 5I has documented violations from 2024 for both pest infestations and peeling paint in various rooms, while a 2024 violation in apartment 2C noted the presence of roaches and mice.

Building-wide concerns have been raised through multiple 311 service requests in May 2025 regarding door issues, though these were found not to violate housing laws upon inspection. The Department of Buildings has active violations regarding elevator maintenance and safety features, including missing door lock monitoring, inoperable phone systems, and other defects that present safety concerns, especially for disabled residents. While the building has not reported any bedbug infestations since 2019, the recurring issues with pests, elevator functionality, and water leaks suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
