427 East 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 5-story, 17-unit tenement building at 427 East 82nd Street, owned by Gary Brown and constructed in 1910, has experienced persistent rodent issues over the past several years, with the most recent rodent sighting complaint filed in June 2023. The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections since 2021, with inspections in 2023 showing rat activity and bait application in August 2023. Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements have been issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023, though the most recent 2025 filing shows zero infested units, suggesting compliance with bedbug eradication protocols.

The building experienced ventilation issues in July 2021 that warranted a Department of Health intervention requiring owner correction. Multiple complaints regarding work without permits were filed between January and March 2022, though these were found to warrant no violations at the time of inspection. Recent infrastructure concerns were documented in August 2023, when an Environmental Control Board violation was issued for improperly supported window A/C units and damaged window sills on floors 2 and 3, resulting in a $625 penalty.

The building's elevator experienced a cease-use violation in July 2021, though this appears to have been resolved. The property has maintained active compliance with bedbug eradication reporting since 2022, with all recent filings showing zero infestation cases. While recent inspections indicate ongoing rodent activity, the frequency of complaints seems to have decreased somewhat compared to earlier years, with only one rodent-related complaint filed in 2023 compared to multiple complaints in previous years. The most recent building inspections and enforcement actions suggest the owner is currently addressing and remediating identified violations, though some historical issues appear to have persisted over multiple years.
