524 East 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028
524 East 83rd Street is a 5-story, 10-unit old-law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Afrim Kukaj. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning incidents including three emergency complaints in 2020-2021 related to heat/hot water and electrical problems (two separate incidents) that required HPD intervention, though no violations were ultimately issued for the electrical issues. A significant safety concern was raised in 2025 regarding locked/blocked egress, resulting in an Oath violation being served.
The building has also undergone multiple inspections for rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2023 passing successfully, though there were earlier issues in 2019 that required bait application. The property appears to be in compliance with bedbug regulations, with official reports from 2021 to 2024 indicating zero infestations or related issues. Recent complaints to the Department of Buildings in 2025-2023 included concerns about locked egress and potential debris hazards, though no violations were found during inspections.
Multiple complaints about unpermitted work were filed in late 2022, but inspectors were unable to gain access during their visits. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues requiring HPD involvement, including a notable 2018 rodent complaint. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2018, consistently showing no signs of infestation. While there have been various maintenance issues over the years, most recent inspections and filings suggest improved conditions, with the building passing its most recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2023, and showing no bedbug infestation since before 2021.
