21 West 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024
The four-story, 10-unit residential building at 21 West 87th Street, owned by Terrence Lowenberg and dating back to 1892, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a building-wide heat and hot water outage in December 2023 that warranted a Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspection and resulted in a violation. The building has also faced recurring pest management challenges; a recent bedbug report for 2023-2024 indicated infestations in three units, following similar issues in previous years (2022-2023: 2 units, 2021-2022: 3 units).
The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections, with mixed results - while recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passed, there were failures noted in prior years (2022 and 2021). The building has a history of various safety and maintenance violations, including a 2023 violation regarding defective self-closing doors in Apartment 2A, and multiple 2018 violations related to safety notices for gas leaks, carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke detector requirements.
During inspections in 2018, violations were documented regarding fire retardant materials in the basement stairs and self-closing doors in Apartment 3B. The property has shown some improvement in recent years, as evidenced by passing rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, though the persistent nature of pest control issues and recent heat/hot water problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's permit history shows at least one issued permit in December 2018, though specific details about the work performed were not included in the data provided.
