217 East 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028
217 East 82nd Street is a 6-story, 24-unit New Law tenement building located in the Upper East Side, owned by Mark Scharfman and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns related to water and heating systems. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water outage in July 2024, following multiple similar complaints in late 2023 that went unresolved due to lack of access for inspections.
The building has also faced multiple water-related problems, with complaints about heavy and slow leaks, some of which required emergency responses, though not all resulted in violations. Additional maintenance issues documented include electrical problems (outlets and switches), plumbing concerns (basin/sink), and unsanitary conditions including pests and mold, most of which were inspected without violations being issued. The property has a history of bedbug infestations, with one reported case in 2022-2023 and another in 2029-2020, though recent filings for the 2023-2024 period show no current infestations.
Fire safety concerns were highlighted in 2024, with violations issued regarding flower pots obstructing fire escape egress on multiple stories, though these were certified as removed by September 2024. The building has undergone necessary permit processes, including work approvals in 2020 and 2021. Rodent inspections have shown mostly compliant results in recent years, with the most recent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 passing the standards. A significant environmental violation related to a C-hook installation issue was recorded and resolved in 2023, with a $1,250 penalty.
