NYC townhouse once at center of hidden camera scandal lists for $11M

A Manhattan brownstone that once made headlines for its landlords’ use of hidden cameras is looking for a new owner.

Located at 7 W. 82nd St., just up the block from Central Park West, the five-story Upper West Side townhouse is seeking $11 million, Crain’s first reported.

In 2014, landlord Eli Kadoch and his brother Michael Kadoe (the pair share a last name, but spell it differently) were sued first by Aksana Kuzmitskaya, a live-in maid at the building, and subsequently by Olga Kunina, an au pair, for allegedly secretly filming them on cameras hidden in the nine-unit property, The Post previously reported.

“These two young ladies were trying to do their jobs and these two creeps were filming everything they did,” Kunina’s attorney, Joseph Mure, told The Post in 2015.

“The videos included Ms. Kunina using the commode, shower, undressing in the restroom, and engaged in sexual activities for [her] own personal pleasure,” her Manhattan federal court lawsuit stated.

Both brothers denied the allegations, but Kadoch was later charged with more than 80 criminal counts by a grand jury.

Ultimately, in 2016, the civil cases were settled before going to trial (and then being dismissed with prejudice). All but one of the criminal counts against Kadoch were dropped, with the landlord eventually being sentenced to a single year of therapy, Crain’s reported.

Now, though, the siblings — who Crain’s reported appear to control the shell company selling the address — are ready to part with the property they purchased for $925,000 in 1998.

“This architectural gem, showcasing Northern Renaissance Revival and Queen Anne styles with Romanesque elements, was initially a private residence and later converted into a multi-family building,” describes the listing, which is held by Ariel Ben Ezra of Oxford Property Group. “Its generous width and proximity to Central Park make it an ideal candidate for conversion back into a single-family home, promising both elegance and value.”

Other features highlighted in the listing include the fact that all units are currently being rented at free-market prices,. The structure is also 27 feet wide, and recent improvements include a new boiler and electrical system.
