14 West 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 14 West 82nd Street building, a four-story converted Class A structure built in 1893, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, particularly in early 2022, when multiple complaints were filed between January and March regarding building-wide heating and hot water failures, resulting in several violations.

The building has also faced ongoing pest control challenges, with multiple rat sightings reported in 2024, including recent inspections in August and October that confirmed continued rodent activity despite previous inspections showing no violations. Structural and safety concerns have been persistent, with violations related to self-closing doors at various entrances identified in early 2022, and more recent issues regarding tenant protection plan compliance in March 2023 that resulted in penalties.

The building's facade and structural integrity have been under scrutiny, with violations documented in 2019 regarding deterioration of exterior walls and concerns about structural movement. However, there has been consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations across all reported periods. The property management has demonstrated some responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by the resolution of many violations through repairs and permit applications, though several complaints have required multiple inspections before being properly addressed.
