510 East 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 13-story, 94-unit residential building at 510 East 85th Street, owned by Marc Schwartzberg, was constructed in 1956 and has experienced several important maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in October 2022, the building faced heat and hot water problems affecting the entire structure, which were resolved within two days following intervention by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Earlier incidents included a water supply plumbing issue in February 2022 that required inspection but resulted in no violations.

The building has also experienced rodent-related issues, with three documented complaints in late 2020, though these were handled through the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) with follow-up inspections scheduled. The building's maintenance record shows generally consistent compliance with rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in January 2021 passing, following a period of rat activity findings in December 2020. A Department of Buildings violation was recorded in December 2021 regarding the failure to display energy efficiency information, though this was dismissed in February 2022.

The property has maintained an active bedbug monitoring program, with the most recent report (December 2024) showing zero infested units for the 2023-2024 period, following one infested unit in 2023-2024 that was successfully eradicated. Historical data from previous years (2019-2020) shows occasional bedbug activity with successful eradication. The building has issued two work permits in 2020 and 2021, both related to elevator work. While the property has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2020-2022, recent records suggest improved conditions and prompt response to reported issues.
