50 West 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

50 West 82nd Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building in the Upper West Side, constructed in 1887 and currently owned by Sophia Magnone. The property, which has been classified as a converted Class A building, is experiencing significant pest-related challenges as evidenced by multiple recent complaints and ongoing rodent control efforts.

As of May 2025, there are two open complaints with the HPD regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests, and the Department of Health has documented multiple instances of rat activity and bait application between 2023 and 2024. While the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its annual reporting since 2019, it appears to be struggling with ongoing rodent issues. The building has also generated multiple violations related to its low-pressure boiler system, with active penalties totaling $325 for failure to file required annual inspection reports.

These violations cover multiple years (2019-2024), indicating a pattern of non-compliance with boiler inspection requirements. A notice of violation was recorded in March 2023 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though it remains unclear if this issue has been resolved. The combination of open pest complaints, active rodent control measures, and outstanding boiler violations suggests that while the building has maintained an infestation-free record for bedbugs, it is currently facing challenges with other maintenance and compliance issues that affect resident comfort and safety.
