Augrented Insights Report for 535 East 86th Street

535 East 86th Street is a 20-story, 143-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1960 and currently owned by Craig Gilston. The building has experienced recurring rodent-related issues, with the most recent rat sighting reported and inspected by DOHMH in August 2023, though no violations were found.

A concerning situation has emerged in 2024 regarding the parking structure, with active violations filed in October 2024 related to failure to comply with safety measures, resulting in a $2,500 penalty. The building has undergone regular inspections, including multiple passed rodent inspections in 2018, 2019, and 2023, and shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations recorded in the past several years. The property has a documented history of regulatory compliance issues during various inspections, particularly in 2018 when multiple violations were recorded regarding missing safety and information signage in common areas, though these were subsequently closed following proper certification.

Construction-related complaints have been filed between 2019 and 2022, including a stop work order (later rescinded) in 2019 and two complaints about work without permits in 2022, both of which were closed with no violations found upon inspection. The building's maintenance history shows regular permit issuance for various repair and maintenance works, with multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2021 for electrical and other improvements. While there have been recurring pest-related complaints, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections when conducted, and more recent inspections in 2023 have not revealed any significant ongoing maintenance issues.
