210 East 88th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The 20-unit, 5-story building at 210 East 88th Street, owned by Lori Hannan, has experienced several significant issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in October 2024. Although the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) attempted to investigate the complaint, they were unable to access the premises for inspection.

That same month, two Class C violations were issued regarding self-closing door requirements at both the building entrance and first-story vestibule, where door stoppers were preventing proper function. These violations were certified as corrected by late October 2024. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases since 2018, and has completed all required bedbug reporting documentation consistently.

A concerning pattern emerged during 2022 with rat activity recorded in both January and February inspections, though subsequent inspections from 2019 through 2025 have all passed without rodent issues. Historical records show various maintenance challenges, including a 2004 violation for a defective fire-retardant ceiling in the boiler room (which was certified corrected in 2019) and exposed wiring issues in 1998, though these are now resolved. The building's age (constructed in 1900) and legal classification as an "Old Law Tenement" contribute to its maintenance history, with periodic violations and complaints typical of similar structures in NYC, though recent years have shown improved conditions overall, with no significant ongoing issues aside from the recent heating system concern.
