413 East 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 22-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 413 East 82nd Street, owned by Neville Muscat and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Between July and October 2021, the building faced multiple boiler-related violations, including two separate closures for defective/inoperative boilers in September and October, and additional environmental control board violations in October regarding condensate tank, mixing valve, and ventilation issues, for which a penalty of $625 was imposed and resolved. The building's ventilation and safety systems were further scrutinized with a September violation for inadequate boiler room access signage.

In late 2018, there was an investigation into illegal hotel rooms, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their attempts. Despite these past incidents, the building has maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, with zero reported infestations in any of the annual filings. More recent records indicate attention to pest management, particularly regarding rodent control, with multiple bait inspections conducted throughout 2021 and 2022.

The building has successfully filed its annual bedbug reports consistently over the past six years, with the most recent filing in December 2024 showing no infested or re-infested units. Recent rodent inspections in 2022 showed active management of the issue, with multiple bait applications, though an initial rat activity report was made in August 2021. The property has demonstrated a pattern of addressing violations when they occur, as evidenced by the resolution of all cited violations, though the frequency of certain issues, particularly boiler-related problems in 2021, suggests some historical challenges with building systems.
