108 West 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 10-unit, 4-story co-op building at 108 West 87th Street in the Upper West Side, constructed in 1887, has experienced several noteworthy issues in recent years. Most concerningly, between 2019 and 2022, there were multiple violations and complaints related to electrical systems, including defective wiring, exposed electrical components, and gas safety concerns, particularly in Apartment 1A. The building has also faced recurring issues with water leaks, door problems, and unsanitary conditions (including mold) during this period.

In 2022, there were significant building system compliance concerns, with violations related to gas piping, sprinkler systems, and inadequate fire safety measures. However, all these violations were ultimately resolved, with the building maintaining regular inspections and compliance with requirements to address the issues. More recent records from 2023-2024 show improved maintenance patterns, with the building passing multiple rodent inspections and maintaining a clean bedbug record, showing zero infestation cases.

The most recent health department inspection in January 2023 resulted in no violations being found, though there were rodent-related complaints that were investigated and addressed. The building has demonstrated efforts to maintain compliance with city regulations, including the timely response to violations and completion of required repairs, as evidenced by the routine passing of rodent inspections and absence of recent major building code violations. However, the property experienced a notable period of violations in late 2021 through 2022, particularly regarding gas safety and electrical systems, which required multiple correction notices and inspections before being fully addressed. The building's management has worked to rectify these historical issues, as shown by the resolution of various ECB violations between 2021 and 2022, though some violations required multiple notices before being resolved.
