450 East 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 27-story residential building at 450 East 83rd Street, owned by Susan Stropnicky, was constructed in 2005 and contains 120 units. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly regarding construction safety and elevator systems.

Between 2023-2024, there were multiple complaints and violations related to scaffolding and sidewalk shed safety, with the most recent complaint in August 2024 resulting in a $2,500 penalty for electrical conduit issues affecting neighboring property egress. The building underwent facade work in 2024 that led to several violations for unsafe scaffolding practices and inadequate safety documentation, though most of these were subsequently resolved with penalties totaling $3,750. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with violations recorded in 2021 and 2024 related to single device operation without alternate service.

Other significant violations include failure to file required inspection reports in 2023 for external low pressure systems, and historical issues with elevator defects in 2019 that were ultimately resolved. On a more positive note, the building has maintained a clean record for pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years, and it has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2010-2019. The property management has demonstrated compliance with various maintenance requirements through regular permit filings for exterior work, though the pattern of complaints suggests ongoing challenges with construction safety oversight and elevator reliability.
