AI summary · updated June 2026

18 West 83rd Street is a 5-story, 10-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1890 and currently owned by Larry Tauber. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating and water systems. Most notably, in July 2023, there was an incident of inadequate heat and hot water that resulted in HPD violations, affecting apartment 1B. This followed a pattern of heating-related complaints, including an emergency cooking gas issue in December 2020 that HPD couldn't inspect. The property has also faced sanitation challenges, with a March 2023 rat sighting reported to DOHMH and multiple rodent inspections revealing periods of rat activity, most recently noted in compliance inspections in November 2023. The building's maintenance records show ongoing concerns with hot water accessibility, as evidenced by the July 2024 violation requiring attention to the heating system in the boiler room and the ongoing C-class violations related to hot water at fixtures.

The building's bedbug management record shows consistent maintenance, with no reported infestations between 2020 and 2025. Recent improvements include a passed rodent inspection in September 2024 and the resolution of several violations, though some remain open as of the latest inspection data. The property's history shows a pattern of maintenance access issues, with inspections being unable to gain entry in multiple instances, including the 2020 cooking gas complaint and the 2023 heat/hot water complaint. While the building has demonstrated compliance in various inspections, the recurring nature of some maintenance issues, particularly relating to heating systems and rodent presence, suggests ongoing challenges in building maintenance and systems management.
