305 West 86th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024
305 West 86th Street is a 16-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Christrina Forbes and containing 49 residential units. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably during a 2021 construction project that resulted in multiple safety violations, including an accident involving a worker injury, and several citations for inadequate safety practices and documentation, with penalties totaling $12,500.
More recent building concerns include an active ECB violation from April 2024 regarding maintenance of building walls and appurtenances, citing cracked stucco and mortar issues, though this is subject to a $625 penalty. The building has a documented history of various internal maintenance issues, including three significant complaints in 2020: mold (emergency), refrigerator problems, and pest issues.
While the pest complaint was closed without violations, the refrigerator issue resulted in an open violation as of October 2020, specifically concerning a broken or defective door gasket in Apartment 3B. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections between 2017 and 2025, and there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven reporting periods (2019-2025). The building's recent bedbug report filings (2022-2024) show zero infested or re-infested units, and there have been multiple permits issued for various maintenance and repair work between 2018 and 2022, suggesting ongoing maintenance efforts by management.
