83 Bayard Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
The 5-story, 8-unit residential building at 83 Bayard Street in Chinatown, owned by Weitzner Shih, has experienced recurring heating and maintenance issues over recent years. Most significantly, there have been three heating/hot water complaints affecting the entire building in 2024, 2023, and 2021, with the most recent being an emergency complaint in December 2024. In early 2023, multiple violations were recorded in Apartment 5, including inadequate heating, hot water supply issues, and problems with gas range supply and smoke detector functionality, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected.
The building has faced several infrastructure challenges, including multiple water leak complaints in 2021, and various maintenance issues including window frame problems, wall treatment needs, and lighting concerns that resulted in HPD's inability to gain access for inspection in September 2021. The property has a history of compliance issues requiring attention to building codes and safety requirements. These include multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2023 related to heating systems and safety equipment, as well as environmental control board violations from 2023 regarding failure to comply with commissioner's orders, with penalties totaling $12,500.
The building's recent inspection history shows passing rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024, though there were some compliance failures noted in 2024. Notably, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent reports (2022-2025) showing zero infested units. Historical complaints from 2020-2021 regarding illegal conversions and use of the premises as a transient accommodation were documented, with violations served at that time, though subsequent compliance checks appear to have resolved these issues. The building's age (constructed in 1915) and history of various maintenance issues suggest ongoing attention to building systems and infrastructure has been required throughout recent years.
