17 East 84th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

17 East 84th Street is a 10-story, 21-unit residential building located on the Upper East Side, constructed in 1923 and classified as a New Law Tenement. The building, currently owned by Francis Parson, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in November 2024.

Despite resident complaints, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access for inspection. The building has been subject to active elevator violations since September 2019, related to failure to correct defects identified during a 2017 inspection. The property has a documented history of administrative violations, including multiple instances (2020) of failing to file required energy benchmarking reports, though these were eventually dismissed following confirmation of submission.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no documented instances of bedbug infestations since 2019, as evidenced by annual reports showing zero infested units. Regular rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019 have consistently passed, indicating effective vermin control measures. The Department of Buildings records show multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2019 for various maintenance work, including plumbing and elevator-related improvements, though specific details of the work performed are not available in the provided data.
