102 West 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

102 West 85th Street is a 12-story, 85-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Ivana Pavlica. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent incidents recorded in 2024, including both rat sightings and confirmed rat activity, despite passing inspections in October 2024. The property has faced multiple maintenance challenges over recent years, including an ongoing construction lead dust issue (as of August 2022), ventilation problems (2022), and multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building (2021).

Significant violations were documented in apartment 10C in August 2022, including issues with water leaks, defective plastered surfaces, and problems with self-closing doors, though these had not been certified as corrected as of the latest available data. The building's safety systems have been a concern, with a broken/missing window guard reported in October 2023, requiring HPD involvement. Building systems and maintenance have been the subject of various 311 complaints, with housing code violations issued regarding paint/plaster conditions, particularly in apartment 10C (2022).

The facade of the building has also been a concern, with an unsafe notice issued under Local Law 11 in 2022, and previous ECB violations from 2018 citing issues with cracked stone and glass panels on multiple floors. While the building has maintained a pest-free record regarding bedbugs from 2018 through 2024, the recurring rodent issues and various maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure. Recent inspection records show consistent bait application for rodent control in 2023, though the most recent inspection in October 2024 passed, indicating some improved conditions.
