212 West 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

212 West 82nd Street is a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Magdalena Kosz. The Upper West Side property has experienced recurring issues with water-related problems, with multiple emergency complaints about water leaks and plumbing issues between 2023 and 2025. Most notably, there were several heavy flow water leak complaints in 2023 that required HPD inspections and resulted in violations.

More recent complaints in 2025 regarding heat and hot water issues remain concerning, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the apartments in question. The building has also had maintenance issues requiring attention, including an open Class B violation as of June 2023 in Apartment 1C regarding a missing escutcheon plate in the bathroom, and various repairs needed to address broken tiles and water-related problems in public areas. The property has maintained a generally good track record regarding bedbug and rodent infestations, with all annual bedbug reports from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infested units.

Regular rodent inspections have consistently passed between 2018 and 2025. Previous complaints from 2018 regarding possible illegal hotel rooms were investigated but no violations were confirmed at the time. The building's maintenance history shows prompt attention to many issues, with completed repairs documented through Department of Buildings permits, including an issued permit in 2019 for unspecified work. The property has experienced periodic heating issues, with building-wide and apartment-specific heat complaints reported in both 2022 and 2025, though many of these issues appeared to be resolved based on tenant reports during inspections.
