332 West 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024
The five-story, 20-unit tenement building at 332 West 85th Street, owned by Tom Newman and constructed in 1896, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns currently being three open complaints filed in December 2024 regarding plumbing (bathtub/shower) and flooring problems. The building's violation history reveals ongoing maintenance challenges, including a series of violations from 2022 related to apartment 2D involving defective plaster surfaces, door issues, and fire escape concerns that remain open as of the latest inspection records.
In 2020, multiple violations were issued for paint/plaster issues affecting walls and ceilings, though these were subsequently closed. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple permits between 2019 and 2020, including plumbing and elevator-related work. While there have been several violations recorded between 2019 and 2023 for failure to file required inspection reports (such as for external low pressure and boiler inspections), these violations were ultimately dismissed.
The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent annual reports indicating zero infested or re-infested units since 2020. Recent rodent inspections from 2022, 2023, and 2024 passed without issue, though records from late 2019 show some rat activity that was later addressed. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly regarding flooring, plumbing, and various interior surface problems, the lack of recent bedbug infestations and passing rodent inspections suggest some stability in recent years.
