200 West 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

200 West 83rd Street is a 12-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building located in New York City's Upper West Side, built in 1881 and currently owned by John McCarthy. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues over the past few years, with multiple emergency complaints filed throughout 2022-2024, including instances of inadequate service in December 2022, April 2023, and multiple occasions in 2024. Several HPD inspections during this period confirmed problems, particularly affecting Apartment 3N, and issued violations related to heating system access and temperature maintenance requirements. The building has also faced plumbing challenges, with complaints regarding steam pipes and bathtub/shower issues in January 2024, though no violations were issued following inspections.

Recent inspections and service requests indicate ongoing maintenance concerns, including an unresolved food establishment complaint from September 2023 regarding rodent/insect issues, which was administratively closed. The building has undergone multiple electrical and boiler-related inspections in late 2023 and early 2024, with inspectors often unable to gain access during their visits. While there have been occasional rodent activity reports, recent rodent inspections (2025, 2024, 2023) have passed. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record, with zero reported infestations across multiple annual reports from 2021 through 2024.

Building permits from 2019-2020 suggest ongoing maintenance and improvement work has been conducted, though specific details about the nature of these works are not included in the records. The building's historical data shows some recurring issues with self-closing doors, lighting fixtures, and various maintenance needs in specific units (notably 1RS and 3S), though many of these violations have been resolved. A notable pattern of heating-related complaints is evident, particularly during winter months, suggesting potential challenges with the building's aging infrastructure. The property's compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and recent rodent inspection passes indicate some level of effective pest management, though historical records show past incidents of pest activity in various units.
