235 East 80th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

The 35-unit, five-story building at 235 East 80th Street, constructed in 1960, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years under the ownership of Dean Palin. Most notably, in late 2023 and early 2024, there were multiple reports of heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, including duplicate complaints in September 2023.

The building has also faced persistent pest-related problems, particularly affecting apartment 2F, which was cited in August 2023 for violations related to a mouse infestation, as well as multiple unsanitary conditions reports throughout 2023. The property has ongoing safety concerns, with open violations as of 2023-2024 regarding missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detection devices in apartment 2F, as well as various issues with self-closing doors throughout the building. More recent concerns include plumbing issues, with the most recent complaint in November 2024 regarding water supply problems, which was eventually resolved.

The building's systems have shown some instability, with multiple plumbing problems documented in 2023, including bathtub/shower issues. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past four reporting years (2019-2024), rodent activity has been noted, with bait application occurring frequently in 2023 and early 2025, though recent inspections in 2025 have passed. The building's maintenance record includes various other repair requests and complaints, including problems with an electric/gas range and indoor air quality issues, though many of these were investigated and found to have no violations or were otherwise resolved.
