513 East 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

513 East 87th Street is a five-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by John Reiser and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues over the past years, with the most recent rat sighting reported in February 2022, though a follow-up inspection in July 2022 found the building in compliance.

The property faced multiple safety and general maintenance challenges in 2019, including two emergency fire escape complaints (April and October) and multiple issues related to missing signage, resulting in several Housing Maintenance Code violations. These violations, documented in April 2019, included requirements to post information about the heating system key holder, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and the availability of the agency's housing information guide in both English and Spanish in the lobby area - all of which were subsequently certified as corrected by May 2019.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations recorded in the past three years (2023-2025) and with all ten bedbug reporting periods showing zero infested units from 2019 through 2024. Rodent inspections between 2016 and 2022 reveal a mixed pattern, with some initial inspections indicating rat activity (notably in March 2022 and December 2018), though most subsequent inspections resulted in passing grade. The property has maintained active compliance with housing maintenance regulations since the various 2019 violations were addressed, and recent bedbug inspection reports from 2021 through 2024 show consistent reports of zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management practices in recent years.
