325 West 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 5-story, 6-unit building at 325 West 82nd Street in the Upper West Side, owned by David Robinson and constructed in 1892, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, the building faced substantial exterior maintenance concerns in 2020, with two Environmental Control Board violations issued in October and December regarding the building's concrete facade, which was documented as being in "state of disrepair" with multiple cracks, loose stones, and missing stones. These violations resulted in fines of $1,250 and $625, though both were eventually resolved.

The building underwent three Tenant Safety Inspections in 2021 (July and May) and 2020 (October), with the October 2020 inspection resulting in an Oath Violation. In January 2021, a violation was issued for failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous ECB violation, and an October 2020 violation required the installation of a sidewalk shed for approximately 25 linear feet, though this was later dismissed. The building's recent history shows some concerning patterns, particularly regarding pest management and rodent control.

From 2021 through 2025, there have been multiple instances of rat activity recorded during rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in July 2024 passing, though the previous inspections in late 2023 and early 2023 noted rat activity. Bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 consistently show 0 infested units, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. The building's maintenance record shows some attention to exterior work, with permits issued in 2018 and 2019 for unspecified exterior work (EW). While the building has faced various violations and maintenance issues, recent bedbug filings indicate no infestations, though the rodent activity in recent inspections suggests ongoing monitoring of pest control effectiveness is warranted.
