83 East 51st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

83 East 51st Street is a two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Andrevil Civil. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with eight documented complaints between 2019 and 2022 reporting building-wide outages.

These emergency situations were generally resolved promptly, often with tenant confirmation of restoration. The building faced significant infrastructure concerns in 2019, when three violations were recorded related to maintenance deficiencies, including compromised fire stopping, illegal storage in utility rooms, and concerns about a leaning retainer wall at the rear of the building, though these were subsequently resolved with associated penalties totaling $6,249. More recent issues have emerged regarding building management compliance, with four open violations from 2021-2024 related to failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

The building has also experienced plumbing issues, with two emergency water supply complaints filed in September 2021, though no violations were issued following HPD's response. Earlier violations from 2018 noted various maintenance concerns, including water damage to a ceiling and a non-self-closing exit door, both of which were resolved. While the building has maintained some basic compliance following these various incidents, the pattern of heat/hot water interruptions and the recent bedbug reporting violations suggest ongoing management challenges.
