316 East 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The five-story, 20-unit building at 316 East 82nd Street, owned by David Eberhart, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, though recent records show improvements in certain areas. Most notably, the property has faced recurring pest management challenges, with multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests filed in 2022 and 2023. While there were three separate pest-related complaints in November 2023, and earlier complaints in August 2022, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspection in most cases.

A rodent-related complaint from July 2022 was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which found no violations at the time of inspection. The building has also faced some building maintenance issues, including a door-related emergency complaint in September 2024, which was closed following inspection, and an inadequate heat complaint in December 2022 that was administratively closed. Of particular note is a Housing Maintenance Code violation from February 2022 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though subsequent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2025 show no infested units, suggesting this issue has been addressed.

The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections from 2011 through 2022, all of which passed, with bait application noted in January 2011. A Department of Buildings complaint investigation in June 2023 found no violations at the time of inspection. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, the absence of recent bedbug infestations in five consecutive reports since 2022, and the passing results of multiple rodent inspections, indicate some progress in pest management. The most recent complaints regarding doors and pests were addressed through official inspections, though access issues were noted in several cases, and no violations were found in the September 2024 door complaint inspection.
