112 East 81st Street, Manhattan, NY 10028
112 East 81st Street is a 15-story, 101-unit residential building located in the Upper East Side, constructed in 1958 and currently owned by Burton Wallack. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with particularly concerning problems emerging in 2024. Most notably, there are currently two active ECB violations (from August and December 2024) related to failures to secure public safety following an unsafe declaration in July 2024, for which a total penalty of $15,000 has been imposed.
The building has also faced electrical safety concerns, with a December 2023 violation regarding defective/exposed wiring that resulted in an Oath violation. A notable structural stability complaint was filed in July 2024, though inspectors found no violations at that time. The building's inspection and violation history shows a pattern of safety concerns, including a tenant safety inspection in March 2024 that resulted in building violations.
There are active DOB violations as of March 2025 concerning failures to certify corrections of immediately hazardous conditions. While the building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs and rodents, passing multiple inspections between 2010 and 2019, the recent pattern of violations suggests emerging maintenance challenges. Multiple work permits have been issued in recent years for various improvements, particularly between 2019 and 2021, but the current active violations indicate ongoing compliance issues with safety and maintenance requirements. The most recent bedbug reporting for the period 2023-2024 shows zero affected units, maintaining a history of no infestation, though this does not directly address other building safety concerns.
