83 Bowery, Manhattan, NY 10002
83 Bowery is a 5-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Joseph Betesh, with the building class now designated as "Hereafter Converted Class A." The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues, particularly in 2020 when multiple urgent problems were documented, including a heat/hot water outage affecting the entire building and a major pest infestation centered in apartment 3C. The 3C unit had multiple violations issued in September 2020, including bedbug and roach infestations, as well as issues with defective plaster, painting, fire escape, and carbon monoxide detection systems.
The building has undergone several inspections and received various citations, including outstanding violations related to bedbugs, unsanitary conditions, and an inadequate tenant protection plan for work being performed in 2020. More recently, the building's condition appears to have stabilized, with no reported bedbug infestations in the latest three annual reports (2023-2025) and successful rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025.
The Department of Buildings has conducted regular tenant safety inspections between 2020 and 2021, with most resulting in "No Violation Warranted" outcomes, and there is currently an active complaint regarding Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections. The building has shown improvement in maintenance compliance, with multiple permits issued for work performed in 2020-2021, though there were some historical violations related to fire stopping materials and prohibited door hardware documented in 2018. The property's recent inspection history, including passed rodent inspections and clean bedbug reports, suggests a positive trend in building maintenance and pest control management, though the history of various safety and maintenance violations warrants attention to ongoing building management practices.
