230 East 81st Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

230 East 81st Street is a 4-story, 15-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Upper East Side and owned by Jason Glick. The building, constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly documented between 2019-2022, with multiple emergency complaints filed during this period. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted several inspections related to these heat and hot water complaints, some of which resulted in violations, particularly in 2018-2019 involving inadequate heat supply to multiple apartments and gas supply issues in Apartment 1B and 2D.

More recent concerns revolve around rodent activity, with multiple rat sightings reported in late 2023 and inspections showing consistent rat activity through 2025, though some inspections resulted in bait application. The building has maintained a clean bedbug record across multiple annual filings from 2019 to 2025, with zero reported infestations or eradications. A notable issue occurred in 2018 regarding unauthorized work hours, resulting in Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations and fines totaling $4,380, though these violations have since been resolved. The property has shown some improvement in maintenance issues over the past few years, as evidenced by recent Bedbug Reports showing zero infestation counts and compliance inspections being conducted.

The most recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 continue to indicate rat activity, though there have been periods of bait application since 2023. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, with many HPD inspections resulting in no violations being issued, though this does not necessarily indicate resolution of all reported issues. The building maintains an active schedule of rodent control measures, with multiple bait applications recorded between 2023 and 2025. While historical heating system issues were more prevalent in 2019-2020, there have been no recent documented heat or hot water complaints in the last few years.
