321 East 84th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The four-story, eight-unit residential building at 321 East 84th Street, owned by Emily Marino and constructed in 1940, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2025. The property has been dealing with persistent rodent activity throughout 2025, with multiple service requests and inspections showing signs of infestation between May and June 2025, leading to repeated bait applications. There were also serious infrastructure issues earlier in 2025, including multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, as well as plumbing concerns about water supply, though some inspections were unable to gain access for verification.

The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing violations and safety concerns. In late 2023, several violations were documented in Apartment 2F, including non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, inadequate hot water supply, and electrical service issues. Multiple active violations from 2023-2024 relate to the filinf of external low-pressure inspections, dating back to 2018-2023, suggesting potential boiler or pressure system compliance issues.

The property has also experienced repeated power outages in 2023, with two consecutive incidents in July, indicating possible electrical system instability. Finally, there are open violations regarding proper fire safety documentation and inspection notices in the common areas, as well as a locked boiler room access issue documented in July 2023, which could impede emergency response to heating system problems. The building's records show a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with particular attention needed on the active violations related to inspection filings and the persistent rodent control efforts. The property has demonstrated both responsiveness to certain complaints and challenges with maintaining consistent compliance with housing maintenance codes, particularly regarding basic services like heat, hot water, and electrical systems.
