339 East 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The three-story, 8-unit tenement building at 339 East 82nd Street, constructed in 1920, has experienced persistent rodent-related issues over the past several years, particularly between 2020 and 2025. Most recently, in May 2025, and again in September 2024, the building received inspections for rat sightings that passed without violations.

However, there have been multiple instances of rat activity and failed access attempts by inspectors in both 2024 and 2020, indicating ongoing challenges with pest control. The building has also faced safety concerns, including an unresolved fire escape inspection in December 2024 and a similar inspection access issue for pest problems in October 2024, though a previous fire escape emergency complaint from 2024 was resolved.

While no bedbug infestations have been reported in the past seven years (2019-2025), the building's maintenance history suggests periodic maintenance challenges, particularly regarding access for inspections and pest management. A door maintenance issue was reported and resolved in July 2020, and a permit for work was issued in June 2019, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the provided data. The owner, Sean Lavin, has maintained regular rodent inspections, with the most recent one in May 2025 passing without violations, suggesting some level of compliance with health department requirements.
