515 East 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The five-story, ten-unit old law tenement at 515 East 87th Street, owned by David Mcgoldrick and built in 1900, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is currently an open complaint filed in March 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, which HPD has attempted to address with the property owner. This building has also faced persistent pest issues, with a non-emergency pest-related complaint from March 2025, though previous pest complaints from 2022 were resolved.

Inspection records show recurring rodent activity between 2019 and 2022, though the most recent rodent inspection in April 2022 resulted in a passing grade. Additional maintenance concerns include an open violation as of August 2023 for improperly supported window A/C units on the 2nd and 5th floors, for which a $500 penalty has been imposed. The building's plumbing system has received attention, with a bathtub/shower-related emergency complaint in 2019 that was closed, and access issues noted during inspection.

Air quality concerns were documented in March 2022 related to chemical vapors. However, recent bedbug reporting for the past several years has shown consistent zero infestation rates, indicating effective pest management in this regard. The property has maintained generally regular compliance with inspections, though some emergency and non-emergency complaints remain unresolved or were closed without proper access for inspection, suggesting occasional challenges in addressing maintenance issues.
