308 East 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

308 East 83rd Street is a 16-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Anastasios Magoulas. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed between 2021 and 2022 indicating system failures affecting the entire building, though most were resolved promptly. Notable safety concerns were documented in January 2022 regarding fire escape conditions and window guard maintenance, while a May 2021 inspection revealed problems with the building's fire escape system including defective metal treads that required replacement.

The building has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with all recent annual reports (2019-2025) showing zero infestations or eradications. Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with "Rat Activity" noted in March 2023 and December 2021, though more recent inspections in 2024 have passed. Two recent complaints regarding illegal hotel rooms were filed, with one currently active as of June 2025, while a pattern of recurring maintenance issues persisted from 2021 to 2022, including problems with heating systems, plumbing fixtures, and water damage.

The building's maintenance history shows some structural and safety concerns that have required attention, particularly in unit 5B, which has documented violations related to heating systems, plumbing fixtures, and various maintenance issues that were subsequently addressed. Recent maintenance records indicate ongoing efforts to address building-wide systems, though some concerns about heat and hot water reliability persist as evidenced by multiple service requests. While the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug prevention and rodent control efforts, the recurring nature of heating system complaints suggests challenges in maintaining consistent building-wide infrastructure performance.
