528 East 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

528 East 83rd Street is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law tenement building located on Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by John Ilibassi. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with the most recent complaint in January 2025 marking the fifth such emergency complaint since late 2022 that required Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) involvement.

While some complaints were resolved with confirmed restoration of services, access issues during inspections have been noted. The building's maintenance record shows consistent bedbug reporting compliance, with only one documented infestation in 2021 and subsequent years showing zero infested units.

Rodent inspections present a mixed picture: while the building passed recent inspections in October 2024 and December 2023, there were periods of rat activity documented between 2018-2019, with initial inspections in 2022 also showing compliance. Two construction permits were issued in 2019 for alterations and emergency work, suggesting maintenance and improvement efforts by the ownership. The property's ongoing heat and hot water reliability issues, as demonstrated by multiple emergency complaints, represent the most significant recurring maintenance concern, though unit-specific inspections have often been hindered by access issues.
