24 West 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The four-story, five-unit residential building at 24 West 85th Street, located in Manhattan's Upper West Side and owned by Paul Alter, has experienced several significant events over the past few years. Most notably, the building has undergone three consecutive years of required bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2025, with the most recent report (for the period November 2023 to October 2024) showing no infested units.

Earlier bedbug-related violations were issued, though these were subsequently resolved. The property has maintained generally good health and safety standards, though a September 2024 rodent inspection noted rat activity, which represents a departure from the consistent "Passed" results recorded in previous years (2019-2023). The building has had an active history of permit issuance, with multiple permits granted between 2020 and 2022 under job number 140952397, indicating ongoing maintenance or improvement work.

All issued permits have maintained "ISSUED" status, suggesting compliance with city requirements. Regular inspections have continued to monitor the building's condition, with the most recent rodent inspection in November 2024 passing, though the prior year's rat activity report raises some concern about pest management. Despite these issues, the building has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and has maintained the appropriate permits for ongoing work.
