407 East 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

407 East 87th Street is a five-story, 20-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Dominique Punnett. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being a heat and hot water emergency in February 2024 that required HPD intervention, though heat and hot water were reported to be restored shortly after.

A door safety violation was noted in February 2024 regarding a non-self-closing door mechanism at the first-story vestibule. The building's rodent control efforts have shown variable results between 2019 and 2024, with the most recent inspections in October 2024 and December 2023 passing compliance, though a October 2023 initial inspection failed for unspecified reasons.

Bedbug reports from 2019 to 2025 indicate minimal issues, with only one infested unit reported in 2019, and all subsequent reports showing zero infestation or eradication cases. The building has had three Housing Maintenance Code complaints related to heat and hot water since 2020, and while most violations have been resolved, there appears to be an ongoing concern with building systems requiring regular monitoring. A Department of Buildings complaint from March 2020 needed inspection access that could not be gained by the inspector.
