175 West 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

175 West 85th Street is a 7-story, 42-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1890 and currently owned by Scott Goldenberg. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, particularly between 2019-2020, when there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building.

These incidents, categorized as emergency situations, prompted investigations by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though access for inspections was limited in some cases. In more recent developments, the building has received violations from the Department of Buildings (DOB) in June 2023 for failure to file 2018 external low-pressure inspections, which remain active as of July 2025. The property has maintained a consistent record of pest control success, with bedbug reports showing zero infestation cases from 2020 through 2025, and successful rodent inspections passing every year.

The most recent rodent inspections conducted in 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passed. The building's only current complaint is from June 2025 regarding a toilet facility issue in a food establishment, which is currently under investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. While the historical data shows periods of heating issues in 2019, the building has not reported any major maintenance problems or pest infestations in recent years, and regular inspections suggest ongoing compliance with various health and safety standards.
