106 East 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

106 East 85th Street is a 20-unit residential building located on the Upper East Side, owned by Robyn Sanderson and constructed in 1916 as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced several notable issues over the past five years, most significantly in March 2020 when multiple ECB violations were documented involving an unauthorized laundry room in the cellar with commercial gas dryers. These violations included serious safety concerns such as gas supply issues, lack of proper inspections, and failure to maintain building code compliance regarding automatic sprinklers, resulting in fines totaling $12,500.

Additionally, there was a heating/hot water complaint in March 2021 affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building currently has an active Department of Buildings violation from February 2024 regarding non-filing of the FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report. However, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the last three years (2021-2023), and rodent inspections conducted regularly between 2010-2019 have consistently passed.

The property has maintained other regulatory requirements, with permits issued in 2019 for plumbing and electrical work. While historical bedbug incidents were recorded in late 2018-2019 (affecting two units each time), these appear to have been successfully addressed. The building's recent record shows improved maintenance with no reported pest issues in the past three bedbug reporting periods, though the 2024 FISP violation warrants attention.
