510 East 86th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 21-story residential building at 510 East 86th Street, owned by Anthony Sun, was constructed in 1958 and contains 94 units. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, with the most recent being a water leak with heavy flow reported in February 2025, which was investigated by HPD but found not to violate housing laws. Earlier complaints include construction lead dust in common areas (2022), rodent sightings (2020), and ventilation system issues (2020), with the property undergoing both initial and compliance rodent inspections showing rat activity in October 2020, though subsequent inspections passed.

The building has two active DOB violations as of 2023: failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, and failure to display energy efficiency score and grade. Past violations include an ECB penalty from 2021 for unauthorized removal of a sidewalk shed, though this was not paid according to records. The building's bedbug report filings from 2019 through 2024 consistently show zero infested units, indicating effective management of this particular pest issue.

Multiple Department of Buildings complaints have been filed over the years, including for work without a permit (2023), sidewalk shed issues (2020), excessive debris (2019), and illegal after-hours work (2018), though inspections generally found no violations warranting action. Various permits have been issued for work on the property between 2018 and 2021, including environmental, plumbing, and electrical work, suggesting regular maintenance and improvements to building systems. The property has maintained an active filing history for bedbug reporting since 2019, consistently showing good results with no reported infestations between 2022 and 2024, and passed multiple rodent inspections in preceding years, indicating generally responsible pest management practices.
