238 East 84th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

238 East 84th Street is a 5-story, 22-unit residential building located in the Upper East Side, owned by Fanny Farkas and constructed in 1966 under the Old Law Tenement classification. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with rodent infestations, particularly notable in 2023 and 2022 when health inspections were unable to access units, though more recent 2025 inspections have passed.

The property has experienced significant plumbing and heating system challenges, with multiple emergency complaints in 2021 regarding water supply issues, and heating problems reported in November 2019 that affected both individual units and the entire building, with inspections unable to gain access for verification. The building has an active violation record as of 2023-2024, including failures to file required boiler and low pressure inspection reports.

Structural safety concerns were documented in 2019-2020 regarding scaffold and sidewalk shed conditions, resulting in multiple violations and penalties totaling $4,850, though these were ultimately resolved. While the property has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past three years showing zero infested units, the building has faced periodic maintenance challenges requiring attention from both the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and the Department of Buildings. Recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 have all passed, suggesting improved conditions, though the building's history shows a pattern of environmental maintenance challenges that have required ongoing attention.
