342 East 81st Street, Manhattan, NY 10028
342 East 81st Street is a 41-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side and owned by Jennifer Hierl. The 1920 structure has experienced multiple pest-related issues in recent years, with particularly concerning rodent activity from February 2024 through 2025, including multiple rat sightings and documented violations by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). The building has been under consistent monitoring for rodent activity, with inspections revealing rat activity and repeated bait application throughout 2025.
While there have been some improvements, such as a "passed" inspection in September 2024, more recent inspections continue to show signs of rodent presence as of April 2025. The property has also faced various maintenance issues, including multiple complaints regarding paint/plaster conditions (walls, ceilings, floors) and plumbing concerns between 2023-2024. There were four sets of Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2023 related to bedbug reporting requirements, though subsequent filings from 2025 show no infested units.
The building's maintenance history includes some emergency responses, notably a heating system issue in 2020. In 2023-2024, there were several complaints about sidewalk sheds/scaffolding, though inspections found no violations. The most recent bedbug reports from July 2025 indicate no current infestations, and all prior reports show eradication of previously affected units. The building's plumbing systems have experienced various issues over the years, with multiple complaints recorded, including an emergency plumbing issue in 2020.
