409 East 84th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 48-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 409 East 84th Street, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Igli Jaupi, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with rodent infestations, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene issuing multiple complaints in 2025, though the building passed one inspection in March 2025. The property has also faced persistent heat and hot water issues, with seven emergency complaints filed between 2022 and 2025, particularly during the 2024-2025 winter months, though inspectors often encountered access issues during their assessments. There are active violations regarding the failure to file 2018 and 2022 external low-pressure inspections, and the building had three heat/hot water-related emergency violations in October 2024 alone.

The building's history shows some maintenance improvements and compliance efforts. All reported bedbug infestations from 2020 through 2024 have been documented as eradicated, with no new cases reported in recent filings. Several building-wide issues have been addressed, including electrical work and various safety violations. In 2022, violations were recorded for defective self-closing doors in apartments 14 and 16, and a 2023 inspection documented safety concerns about unauthorized electrical work in Unit 7, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed.

The property has undergone multiple permit issuances for various work between 2018 and 2019, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements. The building has a history of regulatory compliance checks and inspections, with varying levels of access granted to inspectors. While some routine violations have been correctly addressed, including repairs to doors and electrical systems in specific apartments, the recurring nature of heat/hot water problems and recent rodent issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has maintained its bedbug-free status since 2022, and there have been no recent security-related violations reported.
