321 East 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The five-story, 15-unit residential building at 321 East 85th Street, constructed in 1910 and classified as an Old Law Tenement, is currently owned by 321 East 85th Street, LLC. The Upper East Side property has undergone regular rodent inspections and bedbug reporting over the past several years, with the most recent events occurring in 2025.

Most notably, a rat sighting was reported and inspected by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in June 2025, marking the third rodent-related incident in a year that has seen both an inspection showing rat activity in December 2024 and a passed compliance inspection in January 2025. Of particular significance is the building's relatively consistent record in terms of structural pest management, with all six years of bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 showing zero infested dwelling units, and all recent rodent inspections (2018-2025) showing either "passed" results or minimal issues. The building's comprehensive inspection history reveals a generally well-maintained property, with the majority of rodent inspections passing without incident.

However, the recent pattern of rodent-related incidents and inspections between December 2024 and June 2025 may warrant attention, though it's worth noting that the most recent June 2025 inspection did pass. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases throughout the entire seven-year monitoring period. The consistent schedule of annual bedbug reporting and regular rodent inspections indicates proactive management by the property owners, though the recent rodent activity represents a notable deviation from the building's otherwise stable pest management history.
