22 West 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

22 West 83rd Street is a five-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1889 and currently managed by owner Larry Tauber. The Upper West Side property has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, most significantly recurring problems with heat and hot water service throughout the building.

Most recently, in April 2025, there were three separate emergency complaints about heat and hot water issues, all of which were reportedly resolved promptly, though this marks the fourth such incident since 2018, when a similar complaint was also logged and subsequently addressed. The building is currently facing rodent control challenges, as evidenced by multiple inspections in 2025 (January to June) showing "Rat Activity" noted during two compliance inspections and bait application responses to address the issue. The property has maintained an acceptable record regarding bedbug infestations, with all eight reporting periods from 2020 through 2025 showing zero infested units, though a recent 2024 violation notice was issued regarding the required annual bedbug report submission.

In late 2023, there was a complaint about illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings, though the inspector was unable to gain access for verification despite two attempts. Additionally, the building underwent a rodent inspection in June 2025 with areas marked for bait application, indicating ongoing pest management efforts are being implemented. While the heat and hot water issues and rodent concerns are notable, the building has maintained relative stability with no major violations or other pressing maintenance issues reported in recent years.
