134 West 86th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

134 West 86th Street is a 10-unit, 4-story residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side neighborhood, built in 1900 and currently owned by Majid Kermanshah. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with documented complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in both January 2020 and March 2022, though in both cases tenants reported that services had been restored by the time of HPD's response. The building has maintained an up-to-date bedbug reporting record from 2021 through 2024, consistently showing zero infested or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management practices.

Rodent inspections have been regularly conducted, with the most recent inspection in August 2024 showing a "Passed" result, following one instance of "Rat Activity" in October 2019. The building has two notable Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 and 2022 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations are now listed as closed. A Department of Buildings complaint from March 2020 regarding permit access was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" on the second final attempt.

The building's recent maintenance history shows generally positive outcomes, with regular compliance achieved in rodent inspections and consistent bedbug management. The only recurring issue appears to be the heat and hot water system, with two separate incidents occurring approximately two years apart, though both were resolved relatively quickly based on tenant reports. The absence of significant violations or complaints in recent years suggests improved building management practices, though prospective tenants should note the historical pattern of heat-related issues.
