317 East 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 5-story, 20-unit building at 317 East 83rd Street, owned by Jose Rojas and constructed in 1910 as an Old Law Tenement, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in April 2023, three violations were documented regarding building maintenance and safety, including a leaking roof over the 5th-floor public hall, garbage bins obstructing the 1st-floor public hall, and defective fire-retardant ceiling materials in the 5th-floor public hall.

The building also had a heat and hot water emergency complaint in November 2021, which was reportedly resolved, and there were unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage in October 2019. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug monitoring, with no reported infestations in the past five years (2020-2024), and recently completed its 2023-2024 bedbug reporting period with no affected units.

Rodent inspections have generally been favorable, with the most recent inspections in 2022-2024 passing without issues, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in October 2017. Historical data shows various maintenance violations dating back to 1999, including issues with the heating system access and 2006 violations in Apartment 5D regarding plaster and paint conditions. The most recent complaint regarding work without a permit, filed in February 2024, was investigated but no violations were found at the time of inspection.
