155 West 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

155 West 83rd Street is a 6-story, 24-unit residential building constructed in 1900 and classified as an Old Law Single Room Occupancy. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns including multiple open water-related complaints as of May 2025, specifically regarding damp spots, slow leaks, and mold. These issues follow a pattern of hydration-related problems in the building, including plumbing and water supply complaints in 2023 and various heat and hot water issues reported between 2022 and 2025.

The building has faced several significant challenges related to safety and building maintenance. Active violations from June 2023 indicate unfiled external low-pressure inspection documents for 2018 and 2019. In 2022, two environmental control board violations were issued regarding the illegal use of a commercial space in the cellar level, specifically for an unlicensed physical treatment establishment operating as "JJ Healthy Spa," with associated penalties of $1,250 each. The building's history includes multiple heat and hot water complaints indicating potential system reliability issues, and while there have been periodic rodent inspections, the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passed.

Importantly, the building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent filings from 2022 through 2025. The property has also experienced several other maintenance issues requiring attention, including problems with door/window frames and an emergency plumbing issue in late 2023. While many previous complaints have been resolved, the current open water-related complaints as of mid-2025 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has undergone inspections for compliance with housing maintenance codes, and while some violations have been noted in the past, most have been addressed and closed.
