45 West 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024
The 10-unit, 4-story brownstone at 45 West 87th Street, built in 1896 and currently owned by Shirley Bassiri, has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in early 2025, the building received several housing maintenance complaints regarding doors, windows, plumbing, paint, and general maintenance issues, with inspectors unable to gain access to verify the conditions in multiple cases. Violations were issued for electrical lighting issues and unsanitary mold conditions in February 2025, though these complaints were later closed.
The building has ongoing violations from 2024 related to lighting fixtures in the vestibule, a roach infestation in apartment 1B, and lack of a janitorial service, all classified as Class B or C violations. The property has passed bedbug inspections consistently since 2018, with zero reported infestations. However, rodent inspections show a mixed record; while the most recent inspection in September 2024 passed, there were two failures in 2023 and multiple concerns in previous years.
A complaint regarding water retention and drainage issues was filed in 2022 but found no violations upon inspection. Recent maintenance history indicates attention to lighting, mold, and ventilation issues, though the building's age continues to present persistent maintenance challenges. The building's bedbug-free status over multiple years is a positive note, while the ongoing lighting, door, and plumbing issues suggest continuing maintenance needs in various areas.
