140 East 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 15-story, 64-unit building at 140 East 83rd Street, owned by Kimberly McDowelllois and constructed in 1961, has experienced several notable events over the past few years. Most concerning were multiple boiler-related issues in late 2019, including four separate complaints about defective/inoperative systems, with one incident on February 19, 2020, resulting in significant violations including oil leaks, exposed wiring, and other safety concerns through EASCO Boiler Corp, though some complaints were dismissed upon inspection. The building has also had recurring issues with submitting required annual bedbug reports, with violations issued in both 2022 and 2024, though no infestations have been reported in the past eight reporting periods.

More recent compliance issues include two active violations from 2021 regarding failure to display energy efficiency scores and grades, as well as a 2024 violation regarding a Cycle 9C unsafe report that was ultimately dismissed. The building's maintenance history shows a generally responsive management, with multiple permits issued for various types of work, primarily plumbing and electrical, between 2018 and 2019. While there were historical concerns about carbon monoxide detectors in November 2019, proper inspections were conducted with no violations found.

Regular rodent inspections since 2012 have consistently passed, indicating good pest control practices. The property underwent inspections in 2019 and 2024, with the most recent inspection in April 2024 not resulting in any active violations on record. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, the majority have been addressed and closed, though the outstanding energy efficiency violations from 2021 and the bedbug reporting compliance issues represent the most recent ongoing concerns.
