169 West 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 5-story, 5-unit residential building at 169 West 83rd Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Hadar Goldman, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past few years, though there are positive recent developments. Most notably, the building faced significant rodent infestation problems between 2020 and 2022, with multiple inspections revealing rat activity and requiring bait application in April 2022.

While the building is currently rat-free as evidenced by passing inspections in 2023 and 2024, there remains an open housing maintenance code violation as of September 2021 specifically related to rodent infestation in the south yard that should be monitored. The property has also dealt with water-related issues, including a heavy flow leak reported in September 2021, though inspectors were unable to access the affected area. A non-emergency complaint regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage was reported and investigated in August 2021, but no violations were issued.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug issues since 2021, with annual filings consistently showing zero infested units between 2021 and 2024. Recent housing maintenance code complaints have been resolved, indicating improved responsiveness to building maintenance issues. The building's age (built in 1885) and old law tenement classification add historical significance, though this often presents typical urban maintenance challenges.
