58 East 80th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

58 East 80th Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by Bernard Friedman and dating back to 1925. The building has experienced several safety and maintenance issues over its history, with the most recent significant concerns occurring in 2017-2019.

Apartment 5B appears to be a recurring source of maintenance challenges, with documented issues including elevator vibration noise affecting bedroom comfort (2017), and multiple violations from 2004-2005 related to fire safety equipment - specifically, missing or defective smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors that remained open for several years before being closed in 2019. A vestibule door malfunction was also noted in 2005, though this violation had no certified resolution date. More recent monitoring shows positive developments, with the building maintaining a clean record for bedbug infestation from 2019-2024, with all annual filings indicating no cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation.

The building has also consistently passed rodent inspections from 2010 through 2019, suggesting effective pest management practices. A Department of Buildings violation was issued in September 2019 but was resolved by February 2020. While the building's current record shows no active violations, the historical pattern of maintenance issues, particularly regarding safety equipment in Apartment 5B, is noteworthy, though recent years show improved compliance with housing maintenance requirements.
