121 East 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028
121 East 82nd Street is a 5-story, 21-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, built in 1910 and currently owned by Rsl 121 East 82nd Llc. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident in 2023 and 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD and three violations noted - one in June 2024 regarding locked access to the heating system and two in June 2024 specifically related to deficient hot water service in Apartment 10.
Recent complaints in December 2024 regarding the building's intercom system remain unresolved, while a significant number of heat-related complaints between October 2023 and May 2025, including instances where HPD inspectors were unable to access units for verification, indicate persistent building-wide system challenges. The building has maintained a relatively good record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2024) and consistent passing rates on rodent inspections from 2012 through 2020.
The property has been subject to various maintenance violations over recent years, including two open violations from August 2021 regarding self-closing doors at the front entrance, and a C-class violation in July 2023 concerning a broken front entrance door lock. Previous complaints about unauthorized hotel rooms and unpermitted work in 2022 were investigated by the Department of Buildings, though no violations were found at the time of inspection. While the building has experienced various mechanical and access issues requiring attention, the property has generally maintained basic habitability standards, with most emergency complaints being addressed and closed, though some persistent issues remain ongoing as of the latest available data.
