4 East 81st Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

4 East 81st Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, built in 1884 and currently owned by Caros Luciano. The building's history reveals some notable compliance issues in 2018, when Department of Buildings (DOB) violations were recorded for unauthorized occupancy and construction work, specifically regarding the installation of a pre-school facility with bathrooms and kitchen facilities in the cellar level, contrary to the building's Certificate of Occupancy.

These violations were ultimately resolved, along with a subsequent DOB violation in 2019 which was dismissed in late 2022 based on evidence of corrected defects. The property has demonstrated consistent good housekeeping standards since 2019, with no recorded bedbug infestations over the past six reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, showing zero infestation, eradication, and re-infestation counts in all reports.

Additionally, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of pest control, with all rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2019 passing without issues, suggesting effective maintenance of common areas. While the 2018 violations indicate a period of unauthorized use of the building's space, the subsequent resolution of these issues and stable pest control history imply improved compliance and maintenance standards in recent years.
