101 West 86th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

101 West 86th Street is a 6-story, 40-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1887, currently owned by T&J 2006 LLC. The building has faced several health and maintenance challenges in recent years, with the most pressing issues being food establishment complaints and a concerning pattern of rodent inspections. Between February and May 2025, there were multiple food establishment complaints filed with the DOHMH regarding pet/animal-related issues, and there have been recurring problems with rodent inspections, with five failed inspections recorded between July 2024 and October 2024, though the most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 had not yet resolved.

The building has also experienced various maintenance issues, including heat and hot water problems in February 2025 and an appliance issue with the refrigerator that same month, both of which were eventually closed, though an HPD inspection related to a pest complaint in March 2024 could not be completed. The building's violation history shows two active DOB violations from June 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2020 and 2021. However, on a positive note, the property has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no reported infested units in the past three filing periods (2021-2024).

The building's rodent control efforts have included bait applications in late 2020, though the situation appears to have deteriorated recently, with five failed inspections in 2024. The property has also received various DOHMH inspections related to food establishments and mobile food vendors, with the most recent inspections occurring in 2025. While some issues have been resolved, the recurring nature of certain complaints, particularly regarding pests and food establishments, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
