336 East 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The 16-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 336 East 87th Street, owned by Vito Sacchetti and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns occurring between 2022-2023. Most notably, there have been recent complaints regarding construction-related air quality issues, including lead dust and construction dust affecting units, with the latest complaint filed in December 2023 still under investigation.

The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints in 2019 and 2022 regarding lack of these essential services across the entire building, though these issues were reportedly resolved upon inspection. Water-related concerns have been persistent, with violations recorded in 2022 for a bathroom leak in Apartment 3B, and multiple issues documented in 2020-2022 involving water leaks and necessary repairs in Apartment 4D. This apartment also had several violations requiring attention to safety features, including smoke and carbon monoxide detector repairs, mold remediation, and various structural repairs including window frames, door issues, and bathroom ceiling problems.

The building has passed all recent rodent inspections from 2019-2024 and has maintained a zero-infested dwelling unit status for bedbugs in the past five reporting periods from 2019-2024, indicating successful pest management. While there was a complaint about illegal conversion filed in 2022, the inspector was unable to gain access for verification. The property has also undergone regular rodent inspections, all of which have passed, with bait applied at some points in 2019 but showing no ongoing issues.
