86 Madison Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
86 Madison Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Two Bridges neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Daniel Lau. The building has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly in 2023-2024, when multiple structural concerns were reported, including building shaking/vibration issues, potential structural stability concerns, and problems with the masonry front facade involving cracks and spalling on upper floors, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed. The building has documented maintenance needs, including a series of door-related violations in 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors at the first-story entrance, though some of these were subsequently closed.
Safety concerns have been a recurring theme, with recent HPD inspections in 2024 showing unresolved issues related to an electric/gas range, and earlier complaints about mold and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passing, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2023. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past three years according to the required filings. Additionally, historical records show a violation in 2019 for failure to file annual boiler inspection reports, though this was dismissed after a penalty was paid.
The property's maintenance history shows attention to basic safety requirements, with regular bedbug reporting and rodent control efforts implemented. While the building has passed multiple initial rodent inspections from 2022-2025, there have been documented instances of rat activity suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. The recent structural concerns raised in 2023-2024 warrant particular attention, as do the recurring door and safety system issues. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently demonstrating no infestations or re-infestations across multiple reporting periods.
