22 West 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 10-unit, 4-story building at 22 West 85th Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Philip Roitman, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past few years, with the most recent heat/hot water complaint filed in February 2025 and several similar complaints in November 2022. The November 2022 complaints formed a cluster of five reports within a week period, though inspections later confirmed heat and hot water had been restored.

A noteworthy incident occurred in April 2021 involving a defective boiler system, which resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation indicating problems with the HB Smith boiler model G300-SW-10, requiring the removal of combustibles from the boiler room and correction of other violations, carrying a penalty of $655. While the building has had minimal pest issues, with consistent bedbug reports showing zero infested units from 2021 onwards except for one report in 2022-2023 which noted 10 eradicated units, it has generally maintained good conditions as evidenced by multiple successful rodent inspections.

The most recent rodent inspections from 2023 and 2024 passed without violations. Between 2015 and 2024, the building demonstrated good maintenance practices, successfully addressing various regulatory requirements, though the heating system remains a recurring point of concern as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints over the years. The building's bedbug and rodent management records show effective eradication and prevention measures are in place, with no indicating patterns of reinfestation or persistent pest problems.
