240 East 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128
240 East 87th Street is a 5-story, 49-unit Old Law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, built in 1915 and currently owned by Sami Najjar. The building's most recent significant issues center around door and latch maintenance, with multiple violations recorded in September 2024 regarding defective latchsets and self-closing doors in various locations including basement and compactor areas on multiple floors, though these violations were certified as closed in October 2024.
The building has had ongoing challenges with filing required benchmarking reports for energy use, with active violations recorded throughout 2024, including from May and August 2024, suggesting non-compliance with NYC energy reporting requirements. The property has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over recent years, including a series of violations in 2021 related to plumbing and sprinkler systems that resulted in Environmental Control Board violations, though these were ultimately resolved with penalties ranging from $1,250 to $2,500.
More recent inspections have revealed rat activity in 2024, though as of May 2025, the building passed a rodent inspection. The building's maintenance history shows some recurring issues with door functionality, both in individual units (as evidenced by complaints from apartments 2G and 5D) and in common areas, though most complaints and violations have been addressed and closed following inspection and certification. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in recent years (as per the most recent filing period), and it has successfully passed multiple rodent inspections while also addressing identified pest activity when it occurs.
