85 Avenue A, Manhattan, NY 10009
85 Avenue A is an 8-story, 32-unit residential building constructed in 1991, currently owned by Michael Rosen. The property has experienced recurring issues with food establishment violations, particularly during 2018-2022, with multiple complaints related to rodents, insects, and garbage, though recent inspections in 2023-2025 have consistently passed. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all annual reports from 2019-2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units.
There are multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings from 2018-2023, indicating a failure to meet required documentation, though some prior violations from 2019-2020 regarding boiler inspections were resolved. The building's sidewalk shed/scaffold safety was questioned in 2018, resulting in a stop work order that was subsequently rescinded. The property has demonstrated compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2020 through 2025, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 continuing this trend.
In late 2023, an accessibility violation was recorded regarding a steep ramp and missing grab bar in a restaurant area, with a fine imposed though this was subsequently resolved. The building has a history of addressing various health department complaints, including several during the COVID-19 pandemic related to vaccine mandate compliance in September 2021. While there have been several food establishment-related complaints over the years, most recent inspections have shown improvement, and the building has maintained proper documentation and reporting for pest control, with no new infestations reported in recent years.
