218 East 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 5-story old law tenement building at 218 East 82nd Street in Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by Beata Korytowsky, has experienced persistent rodent activity throughout 2024 and 2025, with multiple rat sightings recorded by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). Most recently, inspections in 2025 (April, June) and 2024 (October, November) confirmed rat activity on the premises, though a small number of inspections resulted in passing grades, including a property inspection in April 2024 and October 2024.

The building has also faced administrative challenges, receiving Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021, 2022, and 2024 related to failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, though subsequently, from 2024-2025, the bedbug reporting records show zero confirmed infestations, eradications, or re-infestations. While there was a plumbing water supply complaint in October 2020, this was investigated and closed without violations. The building has undergone some permit activity, with several work permits issued between July and October 2021-2022 under job number 141000501.

Recent inspections indicate ongoing efforts to address the rodent issue, with multiple follow-up inspections scheduled, though the frequency of rat activity reports suggests this remains a recurring challenge. The building appears to have successfully managed bedbug concerns in recent years, as evidenced by the clear reporting from 2022-2025, following earlier violations. The property has maintained compliance with other major housing maintenance requirements, as evidenced by the prompt investigation and closure of the 2020 plumbing complaint.
