78 West 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

78 West 82nd Street is a 5-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Upper West Side, constructed in 1891 and currently owned by Glen Siegel. The building's recent history shows relatively consistent maintenance activity, with all bedbug reports from 2020 to 2025 indicating zero infestations. The property has experienced several infrastructure and maintenance issues, most notably a power outage in August 2020 that resulted in inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though no violations were found.

An open violation from 2018 concerning a broken intercom system affecting apartment 4B remains on the record, while a more recent 2023 violation pertains to an overdue bedbug report filing. The building has undergone multiple permitted works between 2018-2019, including plumbing and electrical maintenance. The property's rodent inspection history reveals some concerning patterns, particularly in 2018 when multiple inspections recorded rat activity. However, more recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have passed, suggesting improved conditions.

A somewhat unusual incident occurred in 2019 when an illegal activity complaint was filed, though inspection attempts were unsuccessful. There is one active Department of Buildings violation from December 2020 with minimal details available. The building's systems and infrastructure appear to receive regular attention, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2018-2019 for various maintenance works, including electrical and plumbing repairs. While the building has encountered several maintenance issues over the years, the absence of documented bedbug infestations since 2020 and improved rodent inspection results in recent years indicate some progress in building management and maintenance.
