AI summary · updated June 2026

The 10-story, 38-unit apartment building at 115 East 82nd Street, owned by Richard Scharf, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past three years. Most notably, there have been three heat/hot water complaints in the past 18 months (October 2023, November 2024), with HPD unable to gain access for inspection in each instance. The building has also faced significant water-related problems, including leaks and mold issues in 2024 that specifically affected apartment 2B, with violations issued for water damage and mold covering more than 20 square feet in multiple areas. Historical records from 2021 show various maintenance issues, including multiple water leak complaints and problems with cooking gas in different units, though some complaints from that period were resolved without violations being issued.

The building's infrastructure has required ongoing attention, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including issues with self-closing doors and plastered surfaces in apartment 2B (2024), and various repairs documented between 2018-2020. The property underwent facade inspections in 2020 that revealed exterior maintenance needs, including issues with the stone cornice and mortar joints. Building management has generally responded to violations and inspection findings, as indicated by the resolution of many earlier violations, though some 2024 violations remain open regarding water-related issues in apartment 2B. The building's recent history shows no documented bedbug infestations (2020-2024), and rodent inspections between 2016-2019 generally passed, with only one recorded failure in 2019.
