220 East 87th Street is a 5-story, 42-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by Christina Forbes and constructed in 1960. The building is currently facing several notable issues, with the most recent emergency heat and hot water complaint in August 2023 highlighting access problems for inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. There are also multiple open violations from a July 2018 inspection, including failure to post required safety notices related to carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, gas leak procedures, and heating system access.
The building has a history of rodent-related concerns, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 showing rat activity, though previous inspections between 2018-2024 had passed. While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2019-2024 showing zero infested units, the property has experienced periodic heating system issues, as evidenced by the 2023 complaint. The Department of Buildings has documented several permit activities, with work authorized in 2019 under job number 123668780 for plumbing and electrical work.
The building's safety record shows consistent pass rates for rodent inspections between 2018-2024, though with a recent rat activity finding in May 2025. While some heating system issues appear to be recurring, the building has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infestation cases. The open violations from 2018 regarding safety notice postings represent an ongoing compliance issue, though these may have been administratively closed or addressed without proper certification.
