158 East 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

158 East 82nd Street is a 5-story, 16-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, built in 1920 and currently owned by Randy Glick. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues over the years, with the most recent rat activity reported in July 2025, though at least one subsequent compliance inspection passed. Notably, there are several open violations from December 2023 concerning self-closing doors to both the roof and boiler room, as well as issues with fire retardant materials and ceiling painting in the bulkhead area.

The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues since 2018, including heat/hot water problems (noted as an emergency in November 2019), plumbing issues affecting toilets and sinks, and various problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings that resulted in violations. Apartment 1A has documented issues from 2018 including mold in the bathroom ceiling and walls, broken plaster surfaces, and requirements for uniform color painting. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations, with some conditions being resolved through various inspections and permits.

For example, multiple permits were issued in 2018-2019 for various repair work. While the property has maintained an active response to rat sightings, with inspections and some compliance passing, the recurring nature of these reports suggests persistent pest management challenges. On a positive note, the building has shown no recorded bedbug infestations in recent years, with all filings from 2019 to 2025 reporting zero infested or eradicated units.
