506 East 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 6-story New Law Tenement at 506 East 82nd Street, owned by Ahron Freidus, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most recently, in May 2025, the building was found to have rat activity, following similar findings in both 2020 and 2025, despite multiple passed inspections between 2019-2022. The building has faced recurring plumbing issues, with reports of water supply problems in February 2024 resulting in HPD inspections, followed by a heat and hot water emergency in November 2023 which was resolved during the inspection.

A significant violation was issued in 2024 regarding a door not self-closing in the first story vestibule, though this was certified as corrected shortly thereafter. The property has a documented history of maintenance concerns including a 2018 violation for a water leak and plaster damage in Apartment 4, and public area issues regarding window guards in the same year. Compliance inspections in 2019 revealed deficiencies in corridor lighting, though these were resolved.

In 2025, there was a Partial Stop Work Order issued for work without a permit in the occupied building, indicating unauthorized construction activity. The building's bedbug inspection reports from 2018-2024 show no infestation cases, with all reports indicating zero affected units. The property has been consistent in undergoing regular inspections, with most recent rodent control inspections showing ongoing management of vermin issues, though properties of this age typically require continual maintenance and monitoring to address various building systems and infrastructure needs.
