103 East 86th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

103 East 86th Street is a 12-story, 46-unit residential building constructed in 1914, currently owned by Geoff Ringler. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years, particularly concerning pests, heat/hot water problems, and safety violations. Between 2018 and 2020, there were multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests, with particularly concentrated complaints in early 2020.

The building has had some significant safety violations, including an active ECB violation from October 2023 regarding defective bricks on the south elevation parapet wall, and previous issues in 2020 concerning unauthorized gas work and sprinkler system installation in the cellars' laundry room. These violations included improper gas utility installations and installation of commercial equipment without permits, resulting in various penalties that were subsequently resolved. The building underwent proper regulatory compliance processes in response to several violations, including installing required security features in apartment 3C (a peep hole and self-closing door) and addressing safety concerns in apartment 1A regarding window guards.

Both 2023 and 2024 bedbug reports indicate minimal infestation issues, with only one unit affected in 2024. The property has maintained satisfactory rodent inspection results since 2010 and regularly files required bedbug status reports. There are several building permits issued between 2019-2021 for various improvements, including emergency work, though specific details of these works aren't provided in the data. The building's management has faced challenges with maintaining proper documentation and addressing violations promptly, as evidenced by multiple failure-to-certify correction violations between 2020-2021, though these were ultimately dismissed.
