155 East 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 15-unit, 4-story tenement building at 155 East 85th Street in the Upper East Side, owned by Jane Goldman, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past few years. Most notably, there were multiple complaints about no heat or hot water affecting both the entire building and individual apartments in December 2020, and again in January 2022, all of which required intervention by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These incidents were classified as emergency situations and while they were eventually resolved, the pattern of heating system failures raises concerns about the building's infrastructure reliability. The building has demonstrated good pest management practices in recent years, with consistent bedbug reporting showing no infestations in the past three reporting periods from 2022 to 2024.

The property has maintained a good record in terms of rodent inspections, particularly since 2016, with most inspections passing, although there was one instance of rat activity noted in October 2016. Two bedbug-related violations were recorded in 2021 and 2022 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these were eventually resolved. The building's overall maintenance record shows attention to compliance with housing codes, particularly in recent years, with no significant ongoing violations or pest infestations reported in the most current records from 2024.
