514 East 81st Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

514 East 81st Street is a 5-story, 15-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Jeffrey Saliba. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most significant being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in November 2021, though service was reportedly restored shortly thereafter. In March 2022, there was a rat sighting that resulted in Health Department violations, and again in April 2022, rat activity was documented during an inspection.

However, the building has since demonstrated improved rodent management, passing all subsequent rodent inspections from late 2022 through October 2024. The property is currently in compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings (up to December 2024) showing no infestation cases. An asbestos-related complaint was registered in September 2020, though no resolution details were provided in the records.

A housing maintenance code violation was noted in March 2023 regarding the timely filing of the annual bedbug report, but this appears to have been addressed in subsequent filings. The building's history shows consistent attention to pest management, with most recent rodent inspections resulting in passing grades, and the most recent rodent inspections (October 2024 and October 2023) showing no active issues. The only building permit on record from August 2019 was for an unspecified work type under job number 123162059.
