424 East 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

424 East 82nd Street is a 6-story, 19-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Jacques Racine. The property has experienced several notable incidents, with the most significant occurring in September 2020, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heating/hot water and cooking gas issues. These complaints triggered several violations, including inadequate heating and hot water supply, gas supply problems, and pest infestation in apartment 6RE.

The building's gas system underwent significant scrutiny during this period, with multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to improper gas line installations, unpermitted work, and safety concerns, resulting in substantial penalties totaling $6,250, though records indicate these were resolved. More recent history shows improvements in building management and maintenance. The building has consistently filed its annual bedbug reports with no cases reported since 2020, and recent rodent inspections in 2019, 2022, and most recently in 2024 have generally shown compliance, with only one instance of rat activity noted in 2017.

As of 2023-2024, the building has maintained proper bedbug reporting procedures, with the most recent report showing no infested units. The property has undergone various inspections and received some violations, including a 2024 inspection noting incomplete bedbug reporting, though no immediate hazards were identified. While there have been multiple violations and complaints recorded over the years, recent inspection patterns suggest improved compliance with housing maintenance codes, particularly regarding pest management. The building's permit history shows activity in 2018 with an issued permit, though specific details of the work performed under this permit are not included in the provided data.
