119 East 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

119 East 83rd Street is a 5-story, 24-unit old law tenement building located in the Upper East Side, constructed in 1960 and currently owned by Geoff Ringler. The building experienced significant heating system issues in January 2022, with multiple emergency complaints filed regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though these issues were addressed within a few days according to HPD records.

In August 2022, the Department of Buildings identified violations in the boiler room related to debris, improperly installed relief valves, corroded piping, exposed wiring, and inadequate combustion air, which were subsequently resolved with penalties totaling $620. A single housing maintenance violation was recorded in October 2021 regarding defective self-closing doors in apartment 5C. The building's more recent history shows improved conditions, with no reported heating issues since January 2022.

Bedbug reports from 2021 to present indicate no infestations, with all reports showing zero infested or eradicated units. Rodent inspections show a pattern of "passed" results from 2016 through 2019, with only two inspections (February and April 2022) indicating "Rat Activity." The most recent bedbug report (December 2024) confirmed no infested units, suggesting effective pest management. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, especially during 2021-2022, the most recent housing maintenance codes have not shown significant violations or recurring problems, though the building's age and classification as an old law tenement warrant continued monitoring of maintenance practices.
