Augrented Insights Report for 72 West 87th Street

72 West 87th Street is a five-story, eight-unit Old Law Tenement building located in New York City's Upper West Side, built in 1889 and currently managed by 72 West 87 St Mgmt Llc. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with particularly notable problems related to safety and building systems. Currently, there are several open complaints from January 2025 regarding door-related issues (doors, door frames, and bell/intercom systems), along with previously reported concerns about smoke detectors and heating/hot water systems.

The building's boiler system has been a recurring source of problems, with multiple Department of Buildings violations issued between 2021 and 2023 citing defective/inoperative equipment and failure to properly maintain safety systems, including self-closing doors and flue pipe support. More recently, in April 2024, violations were issued for failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports for multiple years (2018-2023), and a November 2023 inspection resulted in a $1,250 fine for obstructed fire escape egress. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved and recurring issues, particularly regarding building safety systems. While rodent inspections conducted between 2018 and 2024 show generally positive results, with several passing inspections and only one instance of rat activity recorded in 2022, building systems maintenance appears to be more problematic.

The property has maintained a consistent record of submitting bedbug reports with zero infestation counts from 2018-2024, indicating effective pest management practices. However, the presence of multiple open violations, particularly regarding doors and building systems as of 2025, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Previous Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections have sometimes resulted in closed complaints without violations being issued, though several complaints from 2024-2025 remain open or were closed without definitive resolution. The building's age and historical status as an Old Law Tenement are reflected in its ongoing maintenance requirements and the nature of some reported issues.
