350 West 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

350 West 85th Street is a 6-story, 54-unit New Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, built in 1904 and currently owned by Isadora Hecht. The building has experienced recurring issues with essential services in recent years, most notably regarding heat and hot water, with complaints in 2025, 2024, and 2019. A plumbing water supply complaint was lodged in May 2025, and in March 2025, the building faced pest-related issues that resulted in violations.

While the building has generally maintained compliance with bedbug regulations since 2019, showing zero infested units in the most recent filings, there have been periodic challenges with rodent inspections, including a failed inspection in November 2023. The property has a history of maintenance issues requiring attention, as documented by multiple HPD violations and complaints. In 2018, several violations were recorded including issues with fire retardant ceiling repairs, exposed electrical wiring, and various public hall maintenance requirements, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected.

Recent complaints from 2023 and 2024 regarding Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections and an elevator service complaint were investigated but found no violations at the time of inspection. Notably, the building's current active violation from June 2019 remains on record, though the specific details are not provided in the available data. The building's maintenance record shows regular inspections and some violations have persisted over time, particularly relating to heating systems and emergency services, though many past violations have been resolved through proper certification processes.
