515 East 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

515 East 83rd Street is a 5-story, 17-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Joseph Motta. The building has experienced significant and persistent heating and hot water issues throughout early 2025, with ten emergency complaints filed between January and February 2025, all indicating problems with these essential services in the entire building. Most of these complaints involved HPD's inability to gain access to inspect the reported conditions, and several were marked as duplicates of existing complaints.

The building is also currently facing an active Department of Buildings violation from September 2024 regarding failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, and a 2019 elevator-related violation concerning uncorrected defects from a 2017 inspection remains active. The property has a history of various maintenance issues, though recent records show some improvements. Violation records from 2023-2024 indicate the building had several self-closing door issues in common areas that were addressed, along with temporary fire escape obstructions.

In terms of pest control, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in annual filings since 2019. The most recent rodent inspections (2022-2024) generally passed, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in August 2022 - this represents the only non-passing inspection in the last eight years. The building's historical records show consistent attention to rodent control, with most inspections yielding passing results.
