202 West 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

202 West 82nd Street is a 5-story, 30-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Denay Riley. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple emergency violations recorded in 2025 alone, including safety concerns related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, problematic doors, and various sanitary conditions.

Notably, there is an active Environmental Control Board violation as of November 2024, citing failure to maintain building walls and appurtenances with penalties totaling $1,250. The building has had recurring rodent infestations, as evidenced by multiple "Rat Activity" reports and bait applications from 2023 through 2025. Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2024 show persistent issues in multiple apartments, particularly in unit 5D, which has recorded violations for pests, mold, plumbing, and deteriorated surfaces.

Historical complaints include matters of structural stability in late 2024, though these were ultimately resolved. While the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations per required filings since 2019, the accumulated violations and repeated pest management interventions suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that affect resident quality of life. Recent complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and mold, along with multiple safety-related violations, indicate potentially serious concerns requiring attention.
