866 United Nations Plaza, Manhattan, NY 10017
860 United Nations Plaza, a 38-story Class A building constructed in 1967 and owned by Sandra Grunfield, is currently facing several maintenance and compliance issues. The most recent concern involves a heat and hot water emergency complaint filed in March 2025, for which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain apartment access for inspection. This follows a pattern of similar heat-related complaints in 2019 and 2020.
The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with multiple unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests in 2020, a rodent sighting in 2021, and documentation of rat activity in 2021-2025. HPD inspections in 2020 found no violations for pest-related issues, but the inability of inspectors to access apartments during inspections has been a recurring theme in multiple complaints. The property has several active and historical violations requiring attention.
Most notably, there are open violations from 2022-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) § HMC:FILE. Other significant past violations include concerns about elevator safety and compliance (2021), automatic sprinkler system installation (2019), and an elevator main supply switch replacement requirement (2021). The building has demonstrated ongoing compliance with rodent inspections, though the results have varied between "Passed" and "Rat Activity." Recent permit activity shows ongoing maintenance work, with the most recent permit issuance in September 2023. While the building has generally maintained compliance with bedbug eradication efforts, as evidenced by the "0" counts in recent filings, the recurring issues with heat, pests, and the inability to access apartments during inspections suggest persistent maintenance challenges.
