Augrented Insights Report for 211 West 85th Street

211 West 85th Street is a 5-story, 13-unit old law tenement building built in 1910 in the Upper West Side, currently owned by Lawrence Movtady. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance issues in recent years, with particularly concerning patterns emerging in 2024-2025. Most notably, there have been three heating/hot water-related complaints between 2024-2025, including one for the entire building in January 2025 that HPD could not verify due to access issues.

Other significant issues include a mold complaint in November 2024 that couldn't be fully investigated, and multiple water-related problems, including a slow leak in September 2024 that resulted in violations being issued. The building has a documented history of pest-related issues, particularly rodent sightings and activity, though recent inspections in 2023-2024 have shown improved conditions, with the last inspection in August 2024 passing. Recent activity includes several active ECB violations as of September 2024 related to construction work, including concerns about dust, fire safety, and structural elements, with penalties totaling $10,000.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring water-related issues, with violations in both 2021 and 2024 involving various apartments. The property has shown some improvement in pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last three annual filings (2022-2025) after multiple years of reported cases between 2019-2021. The building underwent multiple tenant safety inspections in late 2024, and while stop work orders were initially issued, they were fully rescinded in December 2024.
