518 East 84th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

518 East 84th Street is a 5-story, 59-unit residential building constructed in 1940 and currently owned by Barbara Rosen. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent significant incident occurring in late 2022 when tenants reported a building-wide heat and hot water outage that was resolved within a week.

The building has faced recurring challenges with sanitation, including a 2019 pest infestation that resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations, and multiple complaints regarding garbage/recycling storage. Violations were documented in 2019 for apartment 3H, including issues with self-closing doors and a roach infestation, though these were certified as resolved by 2020. Recent building management has shown improved attention to pest control, as evidenced by the absence of bedbug reports from 2020 through 2025, and consistent passing results on rodent inspections conducted annually from 2012 to 2024.

The building has encountered periodic administrative issues, including failures to file required energy benchmarking reports in 2019 and 2022, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. A recent elevator-related complaint from February 2025 was inspected in July 2025, resulting in no violations being found at the time of inspection. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges, recent years have shown fewer instances of major issues, with no current active violations on record as of October 2023.
