425 East 81st Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 5-story, 19-unit tenement building at 425 East 81st Street, owned by Daniel Carlton and constructed in 1915, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past several years. The most recent significant complaint was filed in January 2022 regarding heat and hot water in an apartment, which was resolved within two days.

In early 2019, the building faced multiple maintenance complaints, including issues with the bell/buzzer/intercom system, water leakage, and various problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, windows, doors, and floors. While some of these complaints received inspections, no violations were found in several cases, though access for inspection was not granted for other complaints. The building has also undergone rodent inspections between 2016 and 2020, with varying results from "Passed" to "Rat Activity" being reported.

Two drainage complaints were filed in March 2021 under Local Law 103/89, though inspections found no violations. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no affected units reported in the past seven consecutive years (2018-2024), and all units reporting zero infestations during the 2023-2024 period. While the building shows a history of various maintenance issues, particularly in 2019, many complaints were resolved without violations, and there have been no recent bedbug or major pest issues reported.
