The 10-unit, 5-story building at 206 East 83rd Street, owned by 206 East 83rd LLC, has experienced numerous maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent infestation problem in 2025, with multiple rat sightings reported between January and July 2025, and the building has failed several rodent inspections throughout the year. The property has also faced significant building code challenges, including active violations regarding illegal bedroom conversions and occupancy issues.

In 2024, multiple violations were issued related to door hardware and self-closing mechanisms, with penalties totaling over $25,000 for failure to maintain proper building safety standards. The building suffered from heat and hot water issues in October 2024, and there have been multiple complaints about egress problems and building shaking in early 2025. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with pests, mold, and inadequate building systems. Housing Maintenance Code complaints from June 2025 indicate problems with flooring, plumbing, electrical systems, and safety systems including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The Department of Buildings has multiple active ECB violations as of 2024-2025, including failure to comply with correction orders and submit required documentation. While there have been consistent annual bedbug reports filed showing zero infestation cases, the ongoing pest problems suggest significant maintenance challenges. The property has experienced various inspection access issues, particularly regarding building stability complaints in early 2025, where inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct evaluations. The most recent rodent inspections in 2025 have shown persistent rat activity, despite bait application efforts.
