209 West 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

209 West 87th Street is a 5-story Old Law Single Room Occupancy building located in the Upper West Side, constructed in 1895 and currently owned by Nikitas Theologitis. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly during 2024 when multiple emergency complaints were filed between April and June, affecting both individual units and the entire building. Despite these complaints, records show that heat and hot water were restored in each instance.

The building also faced several challenges with pests in the past, including multiple unsanitary condition complaints related to pests in 2018-2019, though recent rodent inspections conducted between 2018 and January 2025 have consistently passed. The building's recent records show proper bedbug management, with no reported infestations in the last three years (2021-2024) and regular submissions of bedbug reports to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. The property has had several Housing Maintenance Code violations, primarily related to administrative matters such as failing to file annual bedbug reports (2021-2023), and required notices regarding the building's inspection certificate and emergency procedures.

Two instances of benchmarking report violations were recorded in 2019, though these were dismissed in early 2020. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing complaints, with most issues being resolved within a few days of reporting, though some complaints about unsanitary conditions in 2019 and pest-related issues in 2018 required multiple reports before resolution. The property underwent thorough inspections in recent years, passing multiple rodent inspections and demonstrating improved pest management practices, as evidenced by the consistent zero counts in recent bedbug reports.
