509 East 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10028

The five-story residential building at 509 East 85th Street, constructed in 1920, is a 15-unit Old Law Tenement property currently owned by 509 East 85 LLC. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent incident being an electrical lighting problem reported in September 2024, though no violations were issued.

In 2022, multiple issues were documented including a window pane defect in Apartment 2R (which resulted in a Class C violation), water leak issues, and the presence of mold, all of which were resolved through HPD inspections. A mailbox-related concern was reported in late 2021, and two separate bedbug violation notices were issued in 2021 and 2022, though these appear to have been administrative in nature rather than indicating an infestation problem.

The building's bedbug reporting record from 2019 through 2024 shows consistently zero infested dwelling units, and the property has maintained a clean record with respect to rodent inspections, passing all inspections conducted between 2010 and 2019. The most significant recent issues have been related to electrical systems and window maintenance, though these do not appear to represent ongoing problems as both issues were addressed promptly. The building's overall maintenance record shows regular inspections and prompt attention to reported issues, with no recurring patterns of specific problems emerging from the available data.
