27 West 86th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 16-story, 63-unit building at 27 West 86th Street, owned by Eric Rudin, has been through several notable events since its construction in 1926, with particular attention needed on recent pest control issues. The building has experienced recurring pest problems, with three separate pest-related complaints filed in April 2024 alone, despite inspections resulting in no violations. Previous pest complaints date back to 2022 and 2023, though there were some previous years where the building was listed as free from infestations.

The building underwent several safety-related inspections in 2023, revealing multiple violations including missing window guards in Apartment 14A, electrical outlet safety concerns, and non-compliant door closers in common areas - all of which were subsequently addressed and closed. A significant water leak and ceiling plaster issue was documented in December 2018, which received violations. The property has maintained consistent rodent control success, passing regular inspections from 2015 through 2024.

There was a period of construction activity between 2019-2020 that generated several complaints, particularly regarding safety matters including rebar protection and tree preservation, though most of these were resolved without penalties. The building's recent bedbug filings (from 2021 through 2024) show no recorded infestations, and while there was an energy efficiency violation recorded in 2022, this was ultimately dismissed in 2023. The most recent housing maintenance records indicate ongoing attention to building safety systems, including electrical safety and pest control measures, though the building's age continues to require periodic maintenance and updates to comply with current regulations.
