87 Attorney Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

87 Attorney Street is a 24-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 2000 and currently owned by Morris Platt. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout its recent history, most notably with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints in 2022 and 2021.

During a cluster of complaints in July 2022, tenants reported problems with windows, doors, flooring, cabinet issues, smoke detectors, and pest control. More concerning, the building has faced rodent control challenges, with several failed inspections noted between 2023 and 2025, and multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024. The building's infrastructure has had some documented issues, including an elevator safety concern in 2020 that resulted in a $1,250 penalty for failing to install mandatory door lock monitoring.

A recent rodent inspection in March 2025 resulted in a "Rat Activity" finding, and other inspections in 2023 and 2025 also noted "Failed for Other Reasons." While the building's bedbug reporting for the period 2022-2023 showed no infested or re-infested units, the frequency of pest-related complaints suggests ongoing monitoring may be necessary. The property has generally responded to violations and complaints, with most issues being resolved or closed after inspection, though the pattern of recurring violations indicates persistent maintenance challenges. The building's last major construction/repair permits were issued in late 2020, covering plumbing and alteration work.
