27 West 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

27 West 87th Street is a four-story, three-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Eric Michael and dating back to 1896. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, most notably a heat and hot water outage in March 2023 affecting the entire building, which required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). While the issue was temporarily resolved, it highlights potential infrastructure concerns.

The property experienced a bedbug reporting violation in April 2021, though subsequent annual reports from 2021 through 2024 indicate no infestations occurred during those periods. The building has undergone various maintenance and improvement work, with permits issued in late 2020 into 2021 for construction work. Environmental inspections have revealed ongoing rodent activity, with the most recent findings from September and November 2024 indicating continued pest management challenges.

A construction-related sidewalk obstruction was noted in April 2021, though this violation appears to have been resolved. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2022 through 2024, showing no reported infestations during these annual periods. While some maintenance issues have been addressed through proper channels, the recurring rodent activity and infrastructure concerns raised by the 2023 heat/hot water outage suggest areas requiring ongoing attention.
