415 East 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The 20-unit, 5-story tenement building at 415 East 87th Street, owned by Fatmir Lajqi, has experienced persistent pest-related issues in recent months, with three separate pest-related complaints filed between August and September 2024, two of which resulted in violations being issued in October 2024. Recent inspections identified significant building safety concerns, including multiple violations requiring attention to fire safety features such as self-closing doors and fire-retardant materials in the public areas.

Notable health and safety violations documented in October 2024 include an active roach infestation in apartment 5D and the public hall on the 5th floor, along with maintenance issues such as a leaking roof affecting the ceiling in the 5th-story public hall. The building's maintenance history shows some positive aspects, particularly in its bedbug management program; recent filings from 2023-2025 indicate no active bedbug infestations, with all units listed as eradicated during the 2023-2024 inspection period.

The property has generally passed rodent inspections, most recently in October 2024, following the identification of rodent activity at the front yard in September 2024, which received a violation that was subsequently corrected. Historical records show ongoing maintenance challenges, including a water leak complaint from September 2023 that, while investigated, did not result in any violations being issued. The building's 2024-2025 bedbug report will need to be filed in accordance with HPD regulations, though previous compliance suggests attention to this requirement.
