151 East 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

151 East 82nd Street is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by David Sorise. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with multiple emergency complaints filed throughout 2023-2025 (most recently in May 2025).

In the summer of 2024, there was a water leak issue that resulted in violations. The building underwent notable HVAC-related inspections and violations in 2020, when issues with an oil-fired boiler and gas water heater were documented, along with related ECB violations that were subsequently resolved with penalties totaling $2,500. The building has a history of maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 2A (2021) where several violations were documented including issues with plumbing fixtures, surface repairs, and pest control.

More recently, in 2024, violations were identified in apartment 4B regarding plaster surfaces and roof leaks, though these have not yet been certified as corrected. The building's front doors were found to have improper hardware installed in 2024, preventing proper self-closing. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no infestations reported in the past five years, and consistently passed rodent inspections from 2012-2019, with only one failed inspection in 2012 for "Other Reasons." While the building has faced various maintenance issues over the years, the most pressing current concerns relate to the recurring heating system problems affecting all units.
