36 West 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 10-unit, 4-story building at 36 West 87th Street on the Upper West Side, owned by Sal Molinaro, has shown consistent attention to maintenance and compliance with city regulations since its construction in 1891. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all eight annual bedbug reports (2019-2025) showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. The building has also demonstrated strong rodent control, passing ten successive annual inspections from 2015 through 2024.

Recent records indicate some administrative compliance issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2022-2024, though these violations have been resolved and are now closed. There were also two historical building complaints worth noting: a 2019 plumbing-related complaint that resulted in a stop work order (fully rescinded), and a 2020 work without permits complaint where inspectors were unable to gain access on the final attempt. A significant plumbing-related violation from 2019 remains active, concerning the revocation of plumbing work under a specific permit due to a revoked Master Plumber license.

However, this appears to be an administrative matter rather than an immediate resident impact concern, as subsequent permits for electrical and plumbing work were issued in 2018 and 2019. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and improvements, with permits issued for electrical and plumbing work in late 2018 and early 2019. While there have been some minor violations and compliance issues over the years, the overall record suggests stable building management, with particular attention to pest control and safety inspections. The most recent inspection records, including the 2024 rodent inspection and bedbug report, indicate the building continues to meet city health and safety standards.
