518 East 80th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

518 East 80th Street is a 7-story, 103-unit residential building constructed in 1975, currently owned by Matla Wiener. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with at least eight heat/hot water complaints between November 2023 and January 2025, three of which were classified as emergencies involving the entire building, though inspections often couldn't be completed due to access issues.

Other recent maintenance concerns include multiple violations and complaints between 2023-2024 regarding a slow water leak and mold in March 2024, as well as an April 2024 violation related to a bathtub repair in Unit 7D. The building's elevator system has also been a recurring concern, with three complaints recorded in 2021-2022 regarding single device operation and no alternate service, along with a related Class 1 violation from July 2021 concerning fire service and in-car phone functionality, which incurred a $1,250 penalty. The property has maintained consistent records of compliance regarding bedbug management, with no infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2024), and it has shown good results in rodent inspections, passing all inspections between 2010-2019.

Historical records indicate previous building system issues, including a series of boiler-related complaints in early 2021, though inspections found no violations at the time. Safety violations from 2021 in Unit 6J included multiple deficiencies such as non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, defective ventilation, and water leak issues, though these were subsequently closed. The building's maintenance history shows regular filing of required documentation, including annual bedbug reports showing zero infested units in recent years, and it has passed routine rodent inspections consistently since 2010.
