519 East 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 15-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 519 East 82nd Street, owned by Ahron Freidus and constructed in 1910, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years that warrant attention. Between late 2020 and early 2021, there were multiple water-related problems, including both slow leaks and heavy flow incidents, as well as ceiling paint/plaster issues, none of which resulted in violations following HPD inspections. The building has had recurring water-related problems, with similar issues reported in late 2020 and earlier complaints in 2019 involving plumbing issues with basins/sinks.

A 2018 complaint regarding heat/hot water in apartments could not be inspected due to access issues. In addition to water-related concerns, the building has faced other maintenance challenges, including reports of mold (November 2020), a rodent-attracting condition (June 2019), and an appliance issue (July 2018). The property underwent a Special Operations Compliance Inspection in November 2019, resulting in two violations: one regarding prohibited door hardware at the roof level/bulkhead exit (with a $1,250 fine) and another concerning unsafe plaster conditions in the building foyer.

More recent records show an improved maintenance profile, with regular rodent inspections in 2022-2024 passing consistently, indicating successful pest management. Bedbug reports from 2020-2024 show no infestations or treatment requirements. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing attention to water-related issues and periodic structural maintenance needs, though recent inspections indicate improved compliance with health and safety standards.
