83 Post Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10034

The 5-story, 20-unit building at 83 Post Avenue in Inwood, owned by John Barzola, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2019, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2022. There were multiple heating and hot water complaints in 2022, including emergencies on April 29 (affecting the entire building) and October 8 (affecting only an apartment), though both complaints were resolved shortly after being reported.

The building faced unsanitary conditions related to pests in March 2022, resulting in violations, along with appliance issues involving both an electric/gas range and refrigerator. Other notable incidents include a heavy water leak complaint in February 2021 (an emergency), and various maintenance issues including paint/plaster problems documented in 2021 and 2024. The building has passed regular rodent inspections since 2021, though there was one failure recorded in February 2021 for "Other Reasons." Recent building health indicates improvement in pest management, as evidenced by the absence of reported infestations in the most recent bedbug reports for 2023-2024.

Violation records show an open Class B violation as of March 2023 related to roach infestation in apartment 51, though several other violations from 2020-2022, including those concerning appliance repairs and ceiling paint requirements, have been certified as resolved. The building's egress safety concerns, documented through complaints in 2020-2021, were investigated and found not warranted at the time of inspection. The most recent inspections and bedbug reports from 2023-2024 consistently show no infestation cases, suggesting effective pest management protocols are currently in place.
