309 West 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

309 West 87th Street is an 8-unit, 3-story residential building located on the Upper West Side and owned by Paolo Carpignano. The 1891 structure has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues in 2025, with multiple complaints recorded between January and May 2025, including two instances where inspectors could not gain access to conduct necessary evaluations.

A safety concern regarding smoke detectors was also reported in January 2025, though similar access issues prevented full inspection. The building currently has four open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, though this is primarily an administrative issue rather than safety-related. On a positive note, the property has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025, indicating effective pest control measures in place.

There was one completed inspection for heat and hot water issues in November 2019, which showed no violations. The building has a history of responding to heat and hot water complaints, with three instances in 2025 where occupants reported restoration of services during HPD's follow-up attempts to inspect. While the recent heat issues and open violations regarding bedbug reporting are notable, the building's overall maintenance record shows regular attention to building systems and compliance with many housing maintenance requirements.
