315 East 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 22-unit, 7-story building at 315 East 85th Street, owned by Benny Caiola and constructed in 1985, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years. Most notably, the entire building suffered heat and hot water outages in October 2020 and February 2019, both of which warranted Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) emergency responses.

The building's maintenance records from 2018 indicate administrative issues, with violations in October for failing to submit required documentation regarding exterior walls, and a late filing penalty in December for not submitting the FISP Cycle 8B Technical Report by the deadline. However, the building has demonstrated effective pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2022-2024), and only one isolated case in 2019 that was promptly addressed.

Regular rodent inspections have consistently resulted in passing grades since 2017, showing strong ongoing compliance with sanitation standards. While the heat and hot water issues represent the primary recent concern, the building's overall maintenance record suggests a generally stable living environment, with timely resolutions to most identified problems and proactive pest control measures in place.
