429 East 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

429 East 82nd Street is a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building located on Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by Haskel Lehrer and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with notable problems documented in both 2018 and 2022, including a serious building-wide heating and hot water emergency in October 2022.

There has been a persistent rodent infestation problem, particularly between 2020 and 2022, with multiple rat sightings and violations recorded between 2020 and 2021, though a Passed inspection in June 2022 suggests temporary improvement. The building faced various maintenance challenges in 2018, particularly in Apartment 1A, including issues with self-closing doors, electrical wiring, and plaster surfaces, with some violations remaining open as of early 2018. More recently, in June 2023, the building received a violation for facade maintenance issues, specifically concerning chipped terracotta above windows and paint chipping, which resulted in a $625 penalty.

Additionally, there are active violations regarding the failure to file required inspection reports from 2018 and 2017. The building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs since 2018, with no reported infestations in the past seven years, and the most recent environmental conditions appear stable, with no recent rodent activity reported since the 2022 inspections. While some historical maintenance and heating issues persist in records, the absence of recent complaints regarding these systems may indicate improvements, though the facade maintenance violation represents a current maintenance concern.
