185 East 80th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

185 East 80th Street is a 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Upper East Side, built in 1915 and currently owned by Leonard Wilf. The most significant recent issues occurred in December 2022, when the building experienced multiple heat and hot water outages, with 10 separate service requests filed through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) during this period.

These complaints, some regarding both apartment and building-wide issues, were marked as emergencies. The building currently has several open violations as of 2024, including an April 2023 Class C violation for a defective self-closing door in apartment 4E, a locked boiler room access issue, and problems with heat and hot water supply in apartment 2W. The property has maintained a consistent record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filing in June 2025 showing zero infested units for the period from November 2023 to October 2024.

Rodent inspections have been performed regularly, with all results showing compliance and passing status for nearly a decade from 2010 to 2019. Two recent Department of Buildings complaints regarding construction work were investigated in 2024 and 2025, both resulting in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection. While the building's historical records show regular maintenance of pest control and rodent issues, the December 2022 heat and hot water problems represent the most concerning recent tenant experience issues, which were followed by the current open violations related to heating and hot water systems and building security.
