241 East 86th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

241 East 86th Street is an 18-story, 106-unit residential building constructed in 1989 and currently owned by Rose Caiola. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past year, particularly during October 2024 when multiple heat and hot water system complaints were filed, indicating a broader system failure affecting the entire building. These complaints resulted in multiple emergency service requests and inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though some inspections faced access issues.

More recently, in 2025, there are open complaints regarding electrical outlet issues and food establishment concerns involving potential violations, while a closed elevator inspection from May 2025 found no violations. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections annually from 2016 to 2025, and recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no infestations, with only one reported case in 2018-2019 that was promptly addressed. The building has undergone various permitted work projects between 2018 and 2022, including multiple elevator and facade-related permits, with one notable violation from 2021 involving a suspended scaffold for which a $2,500 penalty was imposed and subsequently resolved.

Regular elevator inspection complaints were filed between 2022 and 2025, though all were ultimately found to have no violations. The property has shown prompt action in addressing housing maintenance code complaints, with most being resolved within a reasonable timeframe, though some recent issues, such as the electrical problem reported in February 2025, remain open as of mid-2025. The comprehensive records of inspections, permits, and complaints suggest regular oversight and maintenance activity at the building, with pattern of heating system issues requiring attention and resolution.
