533 East 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

533 East 87th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by 533 East 87th Street Realty LLC. The building's maintenance history shows several plumbing-related issues between 2019 and 2022, including bathtub/shower problems and slow water leaks, though inspections typically found no violations. More recently, in September 2023, the building received multiple Class C violations related to building security and door mechanisms, including the presence of an illegal electromagnetic lock at the entrance, though these violations were certified as closed shortly thereafter.

The building has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, showing zero infestation cases, and has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2015 and 2019, with only two instances of rat activity noted during this period (April and July 2015). The property has experienced recurring issues with mailbox accessibility in 2019, with one complaint resulting in an inspection that reportedly could not gain access. A notable legal incident occurred in December 2018 regarding false certification on a job application, resulting in a $5,000 penalty.

Historical maintenance records show a range of violations and repairs, including a 2019 violation for defective plaster surfaces in a specific apartment (3E) that was subsequently resolved. The building's inspection history reveals periodic oversight of common areas and systems, with most recent inspections focusing on security compliance and bedbug reporting. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, recent records suggest improved resolution of violations, particularly concerning security systems and infrastructure maintenance.
