265 West 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024
265 West 87th Street is a 7-story, 26-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1950 and currently owned by Nicholas Brusco. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints documented between 2018 and 2023, though records indicate that heat and hot water were typically restored prior to or during Department of Housing Preservation and Development inspections.
Recent maintenance concerns include pest control issues in 2022 and 2023, though inspections found no violations. The building also had several code violations identified in February 2023 regarding self-closing doors in compactor chutes and stairwells, as well as a missing mailbox inspection certificate, all of which were subsequently closed. Historical records show the building faced significant issues in 2018-2020 related to an unauthorized transient occupancy (Apartment 5A) that prompted violations regarding fire safety systems, means of egress, and illegal hotel usage, though these violations have since been resolved.
More recent inspections from 2019 through 2025 have consistently passed rodent inspections, indicating effective pest management, and bedbug reports from 2019 to 2023 show zero infested units. The building has two active Department of Buildings violations from 2020 related to plumbing work and a FISP Cycle 9A Technical Report filing requirement from 2022. Recent complaints regarding an inadequate sprinkler system in October 2023 and failed maintenance inspection in March 2023 were investigated but did not result in violations.
