522 East 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

522 East 82nd Street is a 4-story, 7-unit old-law tenement building located on the Upper East Side, owned by 522 East 82nd Street LLC and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most recent plumbing-related complaints occurring in February 2024 regarding water supply problems, though no violations were ultimately issued following HPD inspection.

The property has a concerning pattern of recurring violations related to bedbug reporting obligations under Housing Maintenance Code, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, though the most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2024 indicated no infested units. In February 2024, the building received violations for installing devices (hook and eye) that prevented self-closing doors at both the building front entrance and the first-story vestibule, though these violations were closed after inspection.

The building's Department of Buildings record shows an active boiler inspection violation from November 2019 for failure to file the 2017 annual inspection report. On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections between 2016 and 2024, with only one instance of detected rat activity in November 2017, and the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 confirmed compliance. While the building has experienced multiple safety and reporting violations over the past few years, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements and door self-closing mechanisms, it has demonstrated responsiveness to addressing these issues, as evidenced by the closed status of most violations after inspection.
