425 East 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The five-story, 20-unit tenement at 425 East 82nd Street, built in 1910 and owned by Ahron Freidus, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most pressing concern being a current open complaint regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions filed in March 2025. The building has faced multiple heat and hot water service interruptions, with several emergency complaints in January 2025, though some were reportedly resolved upon follow-up. Plumbing issues have been a persistent problem, particularly in February 2025 when multiple water supply complaints were recorded, and again in September 2023 when violations were issued.

Apartment 2C has documented violations related to safety equipment in September 2023, including inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as water temperature issues. The building's maintenance history includes several inspections showing rat activity between 2019 and 2021, though more recent inspections have passed. The property has experienced various system issues requiring attention, including multiple reports of electrical problems (lighting, outlet/switch issues), and plumbing concerns throughout 2023-2025.

Department of Buildings records from 2019-2021 note specific compliance issues, including a violation regarding emergency lighting and exit signs in 2019, though this was resolved. The building's management has maintained an active approach to bedbug prevention and control, with no reported infestations over the past eight years according to the Bedbug Reporting system. While many complaints have been resolved through HPD inspections, the pattern of recurring maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and tenant services.
