221 East 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028
221 East 83rd Street is a 5-story, 14-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Audrey Samz. The building has experienced recurring pest and sanitation issues, particularly between 2024 and 2025, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and pest infestations. Between April and May 2025 alone, there were eight service requests, including three for garbage/recycling storage issues (two of which resulted in violations) and three for pest-related problems.
A significant cluster of violations occurred in 2024, particularly affecting Apartment 4R with documented mouse infestations. The building's maintenance history shows some concerning patterns, including a series of violations in 2018 related to safety concerns such as obstructed emergency exits and improperly installed locks in Apartment 3E, which were documented as affecting all floor levels. There were also multiple building-wide violations issued in 2018-2019 regarding garbage storage and refuse accumulation. The property's rodent inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with pest control, with recent inspections in 2025 (April and May) resulting in failed compliance checks, though a September 2024 inspection passed.
The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2020-2024, with most recent filings (2023-2024) showing no active infestations, though earlier years (2019-2020) did report one instance each of infestation and eradication. Recent service requests show a mix of outcomes, with some complaints closed without violations found while others resulted in official citations. The building's documented history includes various complaints about illegal conversions and work without proper permits, though these complaints were investigated and no violations were warranted at the time of inspection. While the building has had numerous violations and service requests, many have been addressed and closed, with the most recent being primarily focused on sanitation and pest control issues.
