515 East 88th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128
The 69-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 515 East 88th Street, owned by Kia Coughlin and constructed in 1920, has experienced ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there has been a persistent rodent problem, with the Department of Health documenting violations in March 2025, and multiple inspections showing rat activity through 2023-2025 despite bait applications.
The building has also faced significant interior maintenance issues, particularly in 2023, including multiple complaints and violations for mold, ceiling damage, and electrical problems. Apartment 1N has open violations from August 2023 for pests (roaches and mice), defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and plaster issues, while apartment 1M has violations related to bathroom fixtures. Structural concerns have been documented, including multiple complaints about the building's exterior facade and concrete slabs in 2022-2023.
The building was cited in April 2022 for sagging concrete slabs and erosion issues, leading to additional Environmental Control Board violations in 2023 for failure to comply with repair orders. Other building maintenance issues have included problems with garbage storage, door/window conditions, and periodic violations of housing maintenance codes. While the building has maintained a bed bug-free record since 2019, the persistent rodent problems and recurring maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep.
