16 West 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

16 West 82nd Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1893 and currently owned by 16 West 82 Street Realty LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed in December 2024 and April 2025 that were either not inspected or closed without resolution verification. The property underwent significant maintenance challenges in early 2021, including multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints, cooking gas issues, and violations related to water supply and radiator problems. These were accompanied by violations concerning inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures in multiple apartments.

A notable building-wide violation from 2021 identified hazardous conditions with exterior walls, though corrections were documented by September 2021. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since 2018, consistently showing zero infested units across all reporting periods. Recent inspections have passed for rodent activity as of September 2024, following a failed inspection in September 2023. Historical data shows the property has generally complied with rodent inspection requirements, though there were some concerns in 2017. The building's front and rear facades have required attention, with violations issued in 2019-2021 regarding deterioration and maintenance concerns, including peeling paint and structural issues.

While heating and water supply problems have been recurring issues, with multiple emergency complaints documented in both 2021 and 2024-2025, the building has shown improvements in other maintenance areas, such as timely bedbug reporting compliance and passing recent rodent inspections. The building's documented history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating and water systems, though recent records indicate some improvements in pest control and regulatory compliance. A significant rear wall violation from 2021 highlighting structural concerns was documented but requires verification for current status. While the frequency of heating and hot water complaints has decreased since 2021, the most recent complaints in 2024-2025 indicate that these systems continue to require attention. The property has maintained an active record of responding to inspection findings and violations, though resolution of some issues has been through documented closure rather than direct inspection verification.
