202 West 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The four-story, six-unit tenement building at 202 West 83rd Street, owned by John McCarthy and constructed in 1881, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency reported in December 2022, which was addressed and closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

The building has also faced some structural concerns, including a December 2022 violation requiring repairs to plastered surfaces and paint in the foyer of Apartment 3, and a violation regarding defective self-closing doors in the first-floor vestibule. Although there were rodent issues reported in September 2021 and February 2022, which resulted in inspections showing rat activity, subsequent rodent inspections from 2022-2025 have consistently passed. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestation cases in its most recent filings for 2022-2023, 2021-2022, and prior years.

Multiple permits for work have been issued between 2019-2020, though the specific nature of this work was not detailed in the available records. The building has undergone several tenant safety inspections between 2019-2020, with no violations noted during these visits. While the historical complaint record shows periodic maintenance issues, recent inspections and compliance reports indicate improved conditions, particularly regarding pest control and bedbug management.
