149 West 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024
149 West 87th Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1887 and currently owned by Frances Rosenfeld. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns in 2024-2025 being heat and hot water problems, electrical outages, plumbing issues, and plumbing system complaints including radiator problems. Multiple complaints between November 2024 and January 2025 indicate challenges with building systems, including heat, hot water, lighting, and water supply, many of which required emergency responses.
Additionally, the building has open violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements for the years 2021-2024 that remain unresolved as of April 2025. The building has undergone several inspections and received multiple violations in recent years, including two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 related to unauthorized electrical work for an A/C unit and excessive construction dust throughout the building. A pattern of access issues during inspections is notable, particularly for multiple complaints where inspectors were unable to gain entry to conduct necessary evaluations.
Historical records show previous heat and hot water issues, including a building-wide problem in 2019. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections, with most recent inspections in 2023-2024 passing, though there was evidence of pest management activity in late 2022 through early 2023. The building also experienced work without permit issues in 2024, with violations served in April 2024.
