62 West 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

62 West 85th Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1889 and currently owned by Alan Roitman. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, most recently in January 2024 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding lack of heating/hot water throughout the entire building, though access for inspection was not gained. Historical records show similar building-wide heat/hot water complaints in 2020, during which violations were issued.

Additionally, there were cooking gas-related issues noted in 2020, specifically affecting apartment 3A, for which violations were documented regarding inadequate gas supply and hot water provisions. A boiler-related complaint was filed in June 2024, though no violations were found upon inspection. The building has maintained a good record with respect to pest control, with bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested units, and the most recent inspection in April 2024 noting a violation for failing to file the annual bedbug report.

Rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2015, indicating effective pest management. The property has consistently responded to safety and maintenance concerns through the appropriate channels, as evidenced by the multiple HPD complaints and inspections recorded over the years. Recent maintenance issues appear to be concentrated around heating systems, with multiple complaints spanning different years, though the building's overall condition remains under regular inspection and monitoring by relevant authorities.
