56 West 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

This four-story, ten-unit residential building located at 56 West 85th Street in the Upper West Side was constructed in 1887 and is currently owned by Lisa Szer. The building has maintained a good track record with regular rodent inspections from 2014 through 2024, all of which passed.

While the building has been in compliance with reporting bedbug infestations (or lack thereof) between 2020 and 2024, there have been three housing maintenance code violations recorded in 2021, 2022, and most recently in 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. These violations have been closed, though it is worth noting that a complaint was filed in August 2023 regarding Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections, with the inspector reporting inability to gain access during the second final attempt in June 2024. The building's maintenance history shows consistent compliance with rodent inspections, with all results indicating successful passes.

The most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 31, 2023, indicated no infested units, no units requiring eradication, and no instances of reinfestation. A permit application for work described as "EW" was filed in October 2022 and remains in process as of the current date. The building's history demonstrates generally attentive management, though the recurring bedbug report violation notifications and the troubled access for the Local Law 188/17 compliance inspection are notable points in the building's recent history.
