218 East 81st Street, Manhattan, NY 10028
218 East 81st Street is a five-story, 17-unit New Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood, owned by Enredi Shtylla and constructed in 1930. The building has experienced persistent pest control challenges over the past few years, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests in 2024-2025, including a notable mouse infestation in Apartment 3B documented in July 2024. The property has a documented history of rodent-related issues, particularly during 2022 when multiple complaints were filed between August and October, leading to several Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspections.
Although recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025 have generally passed, there seems to be recurring pest control work required, as evidenced by the 2024 and 2025 service requests. The building has also faced various maintenance and safety issues requiring attention. In 2022, multiple violations were recorded regarding self-closing doors at the building's entrances and interior vestibules, as well as electrical safety concerns including missing safety caps at outlets in public areas.
A violation for failing to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection was issued in September 2024 and remains active as of the current date. Despite these challenges, the building's recent Bed Bug Reporting records show no infestations or related issues reported between 2021-2025, and all previous bed bug reports were marked as having zero affected units. The building's maintenance history indicates ongoing attention to various quality-of-life issues, with many older violations having been resolved through appropriate remediation, though some concerns regarding pest control persist.
