225 East 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The five-story, 12-unit residential building at 225 East 83rd Street, owned by Frank Pecora and classified as an Old Law Tenement, has faced recurring rodent-related challenges between 2021 and 2025, with the most recent rat sighting reported in February 2025 leading to identified violations requiring follow-up inspections. The building has experienced multiple heat and hot water-related issues, particularly in 2021-2022, affecting both entire building and individual apartments, though these complaints were generally resolved promptly upon inspection.

Significant property management concerns emerged between 2021-2024 regarding illegal occupancy of the cellar level as an unlicensed physical treatment establishment operating under different business names, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations and one monetary penalty of $1,250 for unauthorized water and waste line installations. The building's maintenance history reveals attention to water-related issues, including a heavy flow leak complaint in 2020 that was investigated without resulting violations.

Notably, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases across multiple reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 show improved compliance, with the most recent inspections passing after initial concerns, suggesting potential improvement in pest management practices. The Department of Buildings records indicate proper permit issuance in 2018 for work classified under "AL" and "EQ" categories, though details of the specific work performed under these permits are not provided in the available data.
