5 East 86th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028
5 East 86th Street is a 17-story, 63-unit residential building constructed in 1960 and currently owned by Bernard Friedman. The building has experienced some significant safety concerns recently, most notably an active complaint from March 2023 regarding an unsafe façade, which resulted in a $10,000 violation related to inadequate safety measures to protect residents and the public.
This façade issue has led to multiple active violations, including a Cycle 9B Unsafe Report filed in February 2023 and another violation from November 2020 that remains open. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past seven reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, several rodent inspections have been conducted between 2010 and 2019, all resulting in passed evaluations, suggesting general compliance with basic health and safety standards.
The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 confirms continued absence of infestations, with no units recorded as infested or needing eradication in the 2023-2024 reporting period. The building's recent history indicates a particular area of concern with façade safety that has persisted over multiple years, while basic pest control measures appear to be effectively maintained.
