430 East 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The 28-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 430 East 87th Street, owned by 430 East 87 Street Owners Inc., has experienced several ongoing maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been persistent rodent problems, with multiple mouse sightings reported in 2023 (October and August) and 2022, leading to violations that required follow-up inspections.

The building's elevator system has been a significant concern, with active violations as of 2021-2022 related to missing door lock monitoring (DLM) in the controller and bypass issues, carrying penalties of $6,250 and $1,250 respectively. These elevator violations appear to stem from non-compliance with safety requirements, with additional complaints about the single device elevator system in July 2021 and September 2020. The building's maintenance history reveals various housing code violations, particularly in Apartment 2C, where multiple issues were documented in 2010, including problems with plaster surfaces, bathroom tiles, ventilation systems, and moisture penetration in the foyer.

While the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2018, with no reported cases, the persistent rat activity remains a notable concern. The building has passed several rodent inspections between 2017 and 2022, though the most recent inspections in 2023 showed active rat activity. Two permits were issued in October 2018 for plumbing and electrical work, indicating some level of ongoing maintenance and improvements to the building's systems.
