225 East 81st Street, Manhattan, NY 10028
225 East 81st Street is a 6-story, 5-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Cesar Abreu. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, most notably concerning its external inspections requirements. As of June 2023, there are multiple active violations related to the failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2018 and 2020, and a boiler inspection violation from January 2020 for not filing the 2017 report.
The property has a documented history of bedbug-related administrative violations between 2021-2023, though recent bedbug reports from 2024-2025 indicate no infestations occurred during the most recent filing periods. The building's rodent inspection results present a mixed picture, with recent 2024 inspections showing rat activity in September and November, though the most recent 2025 inspection passed. Historical data shows the building has generally maintained compliance with rodent control efforts, with all prior inspections from 2018-2023 passing.
The building's maintenance record shows some concerning patterns, particularly regarding the systematic failure to file mandatory inspection reports over multiple years, suggesting potential lapses in building systems maintenance oversight. However, the cessation of bedbug violations starting in 2024 and the building's recent passing rodent inspection in 2025 indicate some improvement in pest management. A permit for exterior work was issued in April 2019 (Job Number: 123861990), though it's unclear from the provided data what specific improvements were made under this permit.
