167 West 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building at 167 West 83rd Street, owned by Thomas Rohlman, has experienced recurring issues with both heating and pest problems over the past several years. Most recently, in May 2025, a complaint about unsanitary conditions related to pests was filed and closed after HPD was unable to complete an inspection. This follows a similar complaint in May 2024 that was inspected but resulted in no violations.

The building has had multiple heating-related complaints, with three separate incidents in January 2022 alone, including one involving Apartment 2B where a violation was issued for inadequate heat supply. The building underwent several heating system complaints during the winter months of 2021-2022, indicating potential issues with the building's heating infrastructure. The property has demonstrated good rodent control compliance, passing all inspections from 2018 through 2024, and has maintained an active bedbug monitoring program, with no reported infestations or eradications in the past six years.

The building has received various maintenance violation notices over the years, including issues with windows, kitchen cabinets, and mold in Apartment 3B (2020). Three separate attempts by inspectors to gain access in 2018 were unsuccessful, though this appears to be more related to access issues rather than building conditions. Notably, the building's recent history (2023-2025) shows fewer overall violations and complaints compared to earlier periods, with most recent complaints being addressed promptly or showing no recorded violations.
