418 East 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The five-story, 22-unit old law tenement building at 418 East 83rd Street, owned by Richard Kahn, has a documented history of rodent issues, with the most recent rat sighting complaint occurring in June 2023, though this inspection did not result in violations. The property has undergone significant baiting efforts between late 2022 and 2023, with multiple inspections indicating rat activity in late 2022 before the application of bait.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found violations related to rodent issues in October 2022, though it's worth noting that all subsequent inspections have shown either no violations or passed inspections. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with annual reporting from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units, no eradications, and no re-infestations during any reporting period.

Permit activity has been consistent from 2018 through 2023, with various work types including plumbing (PL), electrical (EW), and alterations (AL) being undertaken. Notable permits include a January 2023 PL permit, a May 2022 AL permit, and several EW permits issued in 2021. The building appears to be actively managed, particularly in response to pest control issues, with systematic bait applications and inspections conducted in response to complaints, though the frequency of bait application suggests an ongoing challenge with rodent management.
