516 East 80th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

The 6-story, 30-unit tenement building at 516 East 80th Street in the Upper East Side, owned by Dayra Luna, has experienced several notable maintenance and health-related issues since its construction in 1915. Most recently, in mid-2024, the building faced unsanitary conditions related to pigeon waste, with complaints filed in May and June 2024. The building has shown a concerning pattern of pigeon-related issues, with multiple reports between 2018-2024, though these have varied in frequency and severity.

In September 2018, the building underwent significant inspections revealing multiple violations across various categories, including safety concerns related to smoke detectors, electrical issues with lighting and outlets, plumbing problems, and both door/window and flooring concerns. These violations were subsequently addressed, with a follow-up inspection in October 2019 primarily focused on Apartment 10, noting several issues related to radiator maintenance, including paint requirements and missing valve handles. The building's maintenance record shows a generally good track record for pest control, with rodent inspections consistently passing between 2015-2019, though there were two failed inspections in 2015 that warrant attention.

The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history, with three consecutive years (2022-2024) showing no infestations, following one reported case in 2021. This suggests effective pest management procedures have been implemented. While the building's age and history demonstrate typical maintenance challenges, the relatively recent frequency of pigeon-related complaints and the 2018 multi-violation inspection highlight areas that have required ongoing attention, though most issues appear to have been resolved through proper channels.
