76 West 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 12-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement at 76 West 82nd Street, built in 1891 and currently owned by Glen Siegel, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, there were two heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building in October 2022, though inspections found no violations. The building has faced ongoing rodent control challenges, with the most recent inspections in 2024 showing both treatment (bait applied) and rat activity, following earlier inspections showing similar patterns in 2022-2023.

In terms of building maintenance and compliance, there was a serious construction issue in 2019 involving electrical work without a permit, resulting in two Environmental Control Board violations, though one was eventually resolved with penalties of $800 and $1,250. The building also underwent several permitted construction and repair projects between 2018 and 2020, including electrical work and plumbing. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug monitoring compliance since 2019, with no reported infestations in recent filings from 2023-2025.

However, there were two violations recorded in 2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which were subsequently resolved. The building's history includes multiple complaints about unleashed dogs in 2019, though these were not directly related to building habitability. Recent inspections and service requests indicate ongoing attention to building systems and conditions, with most recent violations being promptly addressed through proper channels. The building's most recent inspection in 2024 passed for rodent compliance, suggesting some improvement in pest management over time.
