AI summary · updated June 2026

10 East 85th Street is a 9-story, 36-unit residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by 10 East 85th Street Inc. Located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, this New Law Tenement building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, in 2019, there were emergency complaints regarding building-wide heat and hot water outages, and broken window guards, though no violations were ultimately issued. Other concerning incidents from 2019 included problems with the sprinkler system, gas hook-ups, and unauthorized work related to a laundry room installation with gas dryers, for which a $2,500 penalty was imposed. The building faced additional scrutiny in 2021 for failing to file its annual bedbug report, and there are currently active violations from 2022 regarding swarm conditions and an unsafe report filing.

In more recent years, 10 East 85th Street has maintained a relatively better record, with all bedbug reporting from 2020 to 2024 showing zero infested units. The building underwent inspections that consistently passed rodent inspections from 2010 through 2019, indicating general pest control success. A 2023 complaint regarding exterior maintenance of window boxes was documented but listed with no penalty. The building has had various violations related to building operations, including the failure to file benchmarking reports for energy use in 2019 and 2023, though these were dismissed upon confirmation of submission. An illegal after-hours work complaint from 2021 was also investigated with no violations found at the time of inspection.
