334 East 81st Street, Manhattan, NY 10028
The 64-unit, 6-story building at 334 East 81st Street, owned by Deborah Kasner and constructed in 1967, has experienced several recurring issues over the past three years, particularly concerning heat/hot water systems and rodent activity. Most recently, in March 2025, there were confirmed rat sightings, and inspections in April and May 2025 found persistent rat activity. The building has faced multiple heat and hot water complaints between 2023 and 2024, with several instances where housing inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.
Notable violations from 2023 include inadequate heating in Apartment L5 and problems with hot water temperatures exceeding 130 degrees at fixtures. The building has also experienced several maintenance issues, including problematic heating equipment, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded between 2022 and 2024 related to heating systems, sanitation conditions, and necessary repairs. The Department of Buildings records show multiple inspection attempts regarding various issues, including a missed Certificate of Occupancy inspection in 2023 and several inspections related to elevator service concerns between 2020 and 2021.
Significant environmental control board violations were recorded in 2022-2023 regarding maintenance issues, including a $625 penalty for an unlevel dirt yard potentially causing tripping hazards. The building's management has been required to address various safety concerns, including defective egress doors, drainage issues, and maintenance of the rear yard area. While the building has had no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2021-2024), the recurring rodent control issues and heat system problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property also had multiple instances of failed energy benchmarking reporting between 2020-2021, though these violations were eventually dismissed.
