327 East 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028
327 East 83rd Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 on the Upper East Side, currently owned by Howard Balaban. The property has experienced persistent rodent issues over the past several years, with multiple rat sighting complaints and inspection results showing rat activity during 2023-2025, including recent inspections in June and July 2025 confirming ongoing rodent presence.
The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning incidents, including a slow water leak reported in May 2023, chemical vapors/odors complaints in 2019, and a significant fire damage incident in apartment 5D in 2019 that was resolved by November 2019. Regulatory compliance has been an ongoing challenge; in 2022, there was a boiler-related violation that resulted in an Oath violation being served. The building has consistently filed Bedbug reports showing no infestations between 2021-2024, though there were multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2019 requiring proper safety signage to be posted regarding gas leaks, carbon monoxide detectors, and emergency procedures, all of which were properly resolved.
The property's recent inspections in 2023-2024 show a persistent rat problem, with multiple inspections confirming rat activity and the need for bait application as recently as December 2023. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements showing no infestations and completed the necessary annual filings, the recurring rodent issues and water leak problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent rodent inspection results in June and July 2025 indicate that despite various interventions, the property continues to struggle with pest management.
