20 West 86th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024
20 West 86th Street is a 16-story, 63-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Ardit Hysaj. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with seven emergency complaints filed between February and April of that year, though inspections were often unable to gain access to units. Prior to these incidents, the building underwent various maintenance and inspection activities, including a period of electrical and plumbing issues in 2023 that resulted in HPD inspections finding no violations.
The building's exterior was the subject of a 2019 violation for maintenance issues including window problems, and two significant violations were recorded in 2023 regarding improper door self-closing mechanisms at the building's entrance and vestibule. Bedbug inspections from 2021 to 2024 show zero infestation cases, and regular rodent inspections between 2014 and 2024 have consistently passed. The Department of Buildings records show multiple permit issuances between 2019 and 2022 for various maintenance work, including three elevator-related permits in 2021, suggesting ongoing investment in building systems.
A significant construction safety complaint was filed in March 2025, though this was quickly resolved. The building's violation history reveals primarily maintenance-related issues, with the most recent violations in 2023 related to door hardware and building envelope maintenance. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, consistently reporting zero infested units.
