54 East 80th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

54 East 80th Street is a four-story, three-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, built in 1899 and currently owned by David Kraus. The property has experienced some ongoing maintenance issues, notably regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with open Housing Maintenance Code Violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 all relating to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

The building has also had recurring rodent-related service requests, with active complaints as recent as 2020 and 2021, though a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection in December 2021 found no violations. The property underwent construction work in 2021 that resulted in two Environmental Control Board violations against construction management entities for failing to maintain required onsite documentation and for not having a designated construction super present at the site, though these violations were resolved with no penalties imposed.

Several Department of Buildings complaints were filed in 2021 regarding fence conditions and construction safety compliance, but initial inspections found no violations warranting further action. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with all of the ten rodent inspections conducted from 2010 through 2022 showing passed results, though some of these were conducted while active complaints were under investigation. Multiple permits have been issued for construction and maintenance work between 2019 and 2021, including electrical, plumbing, and alteration permits, indicating regular upkeep and improvements to the property.
