304 East 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028
304 East 83rd Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located on the Upper East Side, built in 1915 and currently owned by Alex Yelon. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with four heat-related complaints since 2023, including three in 2025, though most were not fully investigated due to access issues. The property has also faced infrastructure challenges, with multiple water-related complaints including a 2025 open door issue, a plumbing problem in late 2023, and documented water leaks and damp spots from 2022 that resulted in violations.
Notably, there are several open violations from a September 2023 inspection affecting apartment 5D, including concerns about roof leaks and defective plastered surfaces. The building's electrical and safety systems have also been problematic, with citations for power outages in 2022 and multiple elevator service complaints. The property has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues, including several non-compliance matters regarding door and window functionality, particularly involving self-closing doors at the building entrance and in apartment 5A.
A significant incident occurred in 2020 regarding improper transient use of apartment 1B, resulting in multiple violations related to fire safety systems and egress requirements, though these were later resolved. The most recent building violation from 2024 indicates failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. Recent rodent inspections show persistent rat activity, with the most recent compliance inspection in late 2023 failing for various reasons. However, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the building for the past several years, according to the official reports.
