42 West 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

42 West 87th Street is a four-story, 10-unit residential building located in New York City's Upper West Side, built in 1892 and currently owned by Jill Drachman. The building has experienced several compliance issues in recent years, most notably with inspection filings; there are active violations for failure to file both the 2022 External Low Pressure Inspection and the 2017 Boiler Inspection Report.

A bedbug reporting violation was recorded in March 2023, though subsequent annual filings (most recently in July 2025) have shown consistent reporting of zero infested or eradicated units throughout all reporting periods since 2020, indicating effective pest management. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2015, all of which have passed, demonstrating good maintenance in this area.

Two significant Department of Buildings complaints are on record: a gas utility referral in 2021 where inspectors were unable to gain access, and a tenant safety inspection in 2019 that was completed without issues. A permit was issued in November 2019 for work classified under the EW category, though specific details of the work are not provided in the data. While the building has maintained proper reporting of its bedbug status and passed multiple rodent inspections, the outstanding violations related to inspection report filings and the 2023 bedbug reporting violation suggest areas requiring continued attention.
