152 East 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The five-story residential building at 152 East 83rd Street, owned by Maria Arzano, was constructed in 1959 and contains 20 units under the Old Law Tenement classification. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues, with the most significant recent concerns being an Indoor Air Quality complaint in November 2021 (closed) and an unsanitary conditions complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage in October 2018, which did not result in any violations.

A notable violation was recorded in February 2022 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though the building has maintained a clean record since then, with no reported bedbug infestations in the subsequent three reporting periods (2022-2024). The building underwent several construction and maintenance activities between 2018-2019, during which time there were two Department of Buildings complaints about work practices: one related to illegal after-hours work in September 2018 (resulting in a $1,250 fine) and another concerning failure to provide protection for adjacent property during active work in November 2018.

A rodent control program was implemented between 2018-2019, with multiple inspections showing varying degrees of rat activity and the application of bait, though more recent inspections (2019) showed improved results with "Passed" ratings. The building has maintained proper bedbug reporting compliance since the 2022 violation was issued, and all housing maintenance code complaints have been resolved without resulting violations, suggesting improved building management practices in recent years.
