61 West 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

61 West 85th Street is a four-story, 10-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Josh Tauber and constructed in 1887. The building's maintenance history over recent years shows several notable incidents, primarily in 2021 when a water leak with heavy flow was reported through both 311 and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, though inspectors were unable to gain access for proper evaluation.

The building has maintained good bedbug management practices, with six consecutive annual reports (2022-2024) showing zero instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation, indicating effective pest control measures. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent in September 2024 passing with no concerns.

While there was one instance of rat activity noted in April 2022, this appears to have been an isolated occurrence as subsequent inspections returned to a normal 'Passed' status. The building has consistently addressed its housing maintenance requirements, though there was a notable bedbug reporting violation in April 2021. The property's overall inspection record suggests generally attentive management, with particular attention to pest control and rodent monitoring, though the access issue during the 2021 water leak complaint is worth noting as a potential concern for maintenance response protocols.
