207 West 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024
207 West 85th Street is a 6-story Old Law Single Room Occupancy building located in the Upper West Side, built in 1910 and currently owned by David Silverman. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent problems centering around elevator safety concerns. In August 2024, the elevator system was found to have safety violations including inoperative door zone restrictors and defective pit door interlocks, with penalties imposed.
This followed a pattern of elevator-related complaints from 2019 to 2024, including multiple instances of single device service issues. The building has maintained an active pest management program, successfully reporting zero infested dwelling units in its bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, though it is notable that bedbug reporting violations were recorded in 2021 and 2023. Rodent activity has been a recurring challenge, especially noticeable in 2022 when multiple complaints were filed and follow-up inspections revealed rat activity, though more recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have shown improved compliance with no active rodent issues.
The building's environmental and health compliance record shows mixed results: recent inspections passed with no active violations as of 2024, but there have been multiple referrals to different agencies for various complaints, including a 2023 indoor air quality complaint regarding chemical vapors that was referred to the Department of Environmental Protection. While the building has had periodic issues requiring attention, including the aforementioned pest and elevator concerns, recent records suggest improvement in both pest control management and overall compliance with housing maintenance codes. The property has demonstrated responsiveness to regulatory requirements, including timely submissions of bedbug reports indicating effective pest eradication efforts, though there remains a pattern of requiring follow-up inspections for various violations throughout its history.
