82 Wadsworth Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033
82 Wadsworth Avenue is a 5-story, 21-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1911, currently owned by Joseph Cafiero. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, with multiple complaints reported between 2024-2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Between late 2024 and 2025, there were also concerns with door maintenance, intercom systems, and ceiling conditions, though most of these complaints were resolved without HPD violations being issued.
More critically, there are currently open Class B violations from September 2024 in Apartment 1 regarding missing carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, a defective bell-buzzer system, and a Class C infestation violation for roaches. Apartment 52 also has open violations from August 2024 concerning carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and the intercom system. The building history reveals significant renovation activity in 2018 that resulted in multiple Department of Buildings violations related to safety and construction practices, including improper removal of fire protection systems and unsafe construction conditions in apartments 2 and 41.
While these violations were ultimately resolved, they indicate a period of unsafe conditions during renovation. The property has maintained consistent rodent control compliance in recent inspections, though there was one failed inspection in August 2021 for "Other Reasons." 82 Wadsworth Avenue has shown reliable bedbug control over the past several years, with no reported infestations between 2018 and 2023. Recent complaints and violations suggest ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges, particularly regarding life safety systems such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
