44 West 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024
44 West 85th Street is a 4-story, 13-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Jorge Guzman and constructed in 1887. The building experienced several significant maintenance issues in late 2018, particularly relating to heat/hot water and cooking gas services, with multiple emergency complaints filed between October and November 2018.
Affected systems included building-wide heat and hot water, as well as kitchen gas supplies in unit 5A, leading to violations that required correction, though most were resolved by December 2018 with appropriate permits issued for repair work. More recently, in October 2024, a rodent sighting was reported and investigated by the Department of Health, though no violations were found during the inspection.
The building has maintained a generally good record with respect to rodent inspections over the years, passing all initial inspections except for one in April 2022 when rat activity was noted. Importantly, the building has demonstrated consistent and timely responses to pest management needs, as indicated by multiple bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested units each year. The property's recent maintenance history suggests improved stability, though the 2018 service interruptions indicate a period of significant systems challenges that tenants should be aware of when considering the building's historical maintenance profile.
