212 East 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

212 East 85th Street is a 5-story Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood, containing 18 units and owned by Jason Glick. Built in 1915, the building has experienced several significant events in recent years, with the most notable being a fire incident in April 2023 that affected apartment 5C. Following this incident, multiple Class B and C housing maintenance violations were recorded, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and various repair needs in apartments 4C and 5D.

The building has also had repeated concerns regarding roof access security, with violations related to self-closing doors and illegal locks at the bulkhead door. While smoking violations were reported in 2023, these were administratively closed with no further action required. The property has maintained a consistent record of compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections conducted between 2017 and 2025, including the most recent one in June 2025.

Bedbug reporting has shown no infestations or related issues from 2019 through the latest report in January 2025. However, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 regarding an unfiled 2017 boiler inspection report that remains unresolved as of October 2023. The building has undergone regular bedbug reporting procedures, with the most recent filings indicating zero infested or eradicated units. The property has demonstrated responsive maintenance practices, as evidenced by the prompt closure of most violations, though some repair issues, particularly relating to water damage, interior finishes, and safety systems, have required multiple inspections and remediation efforts.
