67 West 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

67 West 83rd Street, a four-story, six-unit converted Class A building constructed in 1885 in New York City's Upper West Side, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in March 2023, though these services were reportedly restored within days.

The building has also faced persistent challenges with compliance reporting requirements, particularly regarding bedbug reporting, with violations documented in 2022, 2023, and 2024 noting failure to file annual reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code. Recent inspections showed some improvement in pest control measures, with a completed rodent inspection in September 2024 passing successfully, following a rat activity report in August 2023.

Historical records indicate ongoing maintenance concerns, including an open violation from 2006 regarding inadequate lighting at the building's entrance, which required minimum 100 watts lighting, and various issues from 1998 including bathroom faucet repairs needed in the fourth-floor apartment and a requirement to refit the entrance door from street to vestibule. The building has maintained a generally passable record for most routine inspections over the past decade, with several successful passes for rodent inspections between 2016 and 2024, though there have been a few instances of failure or noted concerns requiring follow-up. The property's current owner, Carlos Armasan, took ownership of the building in 2014, and while recent bedbug reports from 2022-2023 show no confirmed infestations, the pattern of violations suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with all housing maintenance requirements.
