147 West 86th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024
The 15-unit residential building at 147 West 86th Street, owned by Steven Kirschner, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring pest problems, with multiple housing maintenance code complaints filed between 2024-2025 regarding unsanitary conditions and pest infestations, including a documented mouse infestation in apartment 4A in May 2024, and previous issues affecting apartment 4B in 2019.
The building has also faced significant infrastructure challenges, including a heat and hot water emergency in December 2024, and multiple violations related to the elevator system, with active violations as of 2023 for failure to file external low pressure inspections from 2018-2021. While recent inspections (2023-2024) have passed for rodent control, there have been multiple complaints about garbage/recycling storage and general maintenance issues. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations, with many being certified as corrected, including various violations from 2019 affecting apartment 4B that involved problems with hot water, windows, doors, and wall surfaces.
The property has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2019-2025 showing zero units affected or requiring eradication. Recent health department involvement in 2025 regarding a daycare facility complaint was closed without any documented violations. The building's age (built in 1910) and history of conversion to Class A status is consistent with many Upper West Side properties of this vintage, and while there are ongoing maintenance issues, the management has generally responded to violations when cited by city agencies.
