410 East 88th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

410 East 88th Street is a 5-story, 17-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Aaron Drazin. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues, with recent inspections in 2025 (both April and May) showing rat activity. Historical data indicates a pattern of pest problems, including multiple rat sighting complaints between 2020-2022, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene finding violations requiring follow-up inspections during this period.

The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in 2021, when multiple emergency water leak complaints were filed, resulting in both violations and inspections, particularly affecting Unit 3B. Additional concerns have included mold issues (July 2021), window/door problems, and various repairs needed in different apartments, including unit 1C which required attention to doors, security systems, and plumbing fixtures. The property has an established record of addressing bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the last five annual filings from 2020 to 2025.

While recent rodent inspections continue to show issues, the building's most recent violations from 2021 appear to have been resolved, as indicated by the "certified" dates on various Notices of Violation. The building's age and classification as a New Law tenement suggest it retains many original features, but recent reports indicate ongoing challenges with both pest control and maintenance issues, particularly regarding water-related problems. The most recent completed bedbug inspection from July 2025 indicates no active infestations or previous eradications, suggesting successful management of this particular issue over the past four years.
