23 West 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 9-unit, 4-story building at 23 West 83rd Street, owned by Colleen Glazer, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been a significant and persistent rodent problem, with multiple bait applications documented between September 2023 and May 2025, along with several inspections showing rat activity, including a compliance inspection in April 2025 that noted "Rat Activity" and another in November 2024 with the same finding.

The building has also faced recurring bedbug reporting violations, with the most recent inspection in April 2024 citing failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report, though the subsequent 2024-2025 report indicated no infested units or occurrences of re-infestation. In addition to these pest-related issues, the building has several open violations from 2018 that remain unresolved, including safety concerns such as inadequate front entrance lighting, non-self-closing apartment door issues in unit 2R, missing smoke detector problems in unit 2R, and interior maintenance requirements such as painting violations for walls and ceilings in unit 2R.

There is also an unresolved violation regarding the proper display of the building's registration number and address in the public hall. While these earlier violations are less recent than the current pest issues, their continued open status suggests they have not yet been addressed. The building's age (built in 1892) and converted Class A status indicate its historic status as a formerly unregulated building that underwent conversion to regulated status, which may contribute to its ongoing maintenance challenges.
