212 East 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028
212 East 83rd Street is a 5-story, 22-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Daniel Brownstein. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with three documented complaints in 2023 (October and July) and one in 2020, though inspections often found issues resolved by the time of their arrival.
The building's maintenance history reveals several significant concerns, including two improper door closure devices found in July 2023 at the building's first-story entrance and vestibule, which required correction as per housing maintenance codes. The property has faced challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections between 2020 and 2025 showing consistent rat presence, with recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 indicating continued rodent activity.
While the building's bedbug reporting records from 2019 through 2024 show zero infestations, the property has experienced various boiler-related issues, with complaints in 2019, 2022, and 2023, though inspections often found no violations or resolved issues. The building has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and has undergone several rat control interventions, including bait application in January 2021 and multiple inspections showing active rodent presence. Despite these persistent issues, many recent violations and complaints have been closed promptly, though some, such as the 2018 requirement to post boiler room access signs in the lobby, remain open in the records.
