87 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003

87 3rd Avenue, owned by Amdar Company LLC, is a 7-story, 120-unit building constructed in 1930 in Manhattan's East Village neighborhood. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaints in late 2024 involving elevator maintenance and door problems, both of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but did not result in any housing law violations. The building has a documented history of door and plumbing issues, particularly in 2023 and 2024, with multiple complaints related to doors/windows and sink plumbing systems, all of which were ultimately closed without violations.

Compliance issues have included the failure to display required energy efficiency scores in 2021 (dismissed) and concerns about failure to file benchmarking reports in 2019. Recent inspections show that the building has generally maintained public health standards, with the most recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing successfully. Bedbug reports from 2021-2024 indicate minimal infestation issues, with most reporting no affected units, though there were two instances in 2019-2020 where one unit each was noted as requiring eradication.

The elevator system, while generating multiple complaints, has been consistently maintained as demonstrated by the absence of violations following inspections. The building has undergone regular safety inspections, including a notable inspection in 2018 regarding missing gas leak procedure notices and heating system access signage, which were subsequently corrected. The property's maintenance record shows attention to compliance issues, though some instances of missing energy-related documentation occurred, which were eventually resolved.
