330 East 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 5-story, 45-unit residential building at 330 East 85th Street, owned by Kathy Frangipane, has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues in recent years. Between late 2023 and mid-2025, there were three separate heating/hot water complaints regarding the entire building (February 2025, December 2024, and December 2023) where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

Additionally, there have been recent plumbing concerns, with a water supply complaint in May 2025 and several other plumbing-related issues in 2024, including inspections that yielded both violations and resolutions. The building has faced several maintenance challenges, including a June 2024 mold violation in Apartment 3H, multiple water leak complaints affecting units 3H and 5E, and various interior maintenance needs such as ceiling repairs and door issues. The property has maintained a consistent record of successful pest control, with no documented bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2025) and passed rodent inspections in recent years (2024, 2023, 2022).

Recent violations, such as a December 2024 citation regarding a defective self-closing door in the compactor closet, and earlier issues with water leaks affecting multiple units, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. While the building has generally addressed emergency complaints promptly, with most being closed within a reasonable timeframe, the recurring nature of heating and plumbing issues indicates these systems may require closer monitoring. The building's most significant recent violations relate to mold, water damage, and heating system access issues, with some complaints requiring multiple service requests before proper inspections could be conducted.
