521B East 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028
521B East 85th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, originally constructed in 1910 and currently owned by 521b East 85th Street LLC.
The building has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past five years, with all reports (from 2021-2022 through 2024-2025) indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. The property has maintained a strong record of passing rodent inspections, with successful outcomes recorded in multiple inspections between 2010 and 2019.
However, there are two recent areas of concern: a Housing Maintenance Code violation issued in March 2023 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report (though this appears to have been resolved), and a current active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 related to the failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection report. While the building's historical records show generally strong maintenance practices, the recent violation regarding the external low-pressure inspection and the bedbug report violation from earlier this year warrant attention to ensure continued compliance with regulatory requirements.
