150 East 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

150 East 83rd Street is a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Maria Arzano. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns including unresolved electrical lighting problems since 2022 and a fire escape safety inspection in 2023 that remains open. Notable past violations include unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage (2019-2020), multiple pest infestations (March 2019), and significant issues in apartment 1A including rodent infestations, fly and roach problems, and various maintenance violations documented throughout 2019.

The building has also had several fire escape-related concerns between 2018-2019, with violations regarding egress obstruction and ladder equipment. Construction-related issues have been documented, including a lead dust complaint from 2021 that remains unresolved. The property has undergone several rodent control measures from 2018-2022, with inspections showing both rat activity and successful passes, though recent inspections have shown no current infestations.

The building's electrical and general maintenance issues appear to be ongoing, with both 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations suggesting persistent problems. However, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years, according to inspection records. While some historical violations have been addressed and closed, including various unsanitary conditions and pest problems, the building still shows patterns of maintenance challenges, particularly related to electrical systems and building safety features. The most recent violation from August 2023 involves a door self-closing mechanism at the building entrance, though inspection dates from 2019 indicate several other open violations that may require attention.
