529 East 88th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

529 East 88th Street is a five-story, 18-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, built in 1920 and currently owned by Jeremy Bressler. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, though there have been no bedbug infestations reported since 2021, with all recent Annual Bedbug Reports (2022-2024) showing zero infested units.

The property had a notable incident in 2022 involving unauthorized commercial gas dryers in the basement, which were found to be in violation of fire safety codes and resulted in a penalty of $1,250, though this violation has since been resolved. More recent concerns include an active Department of Buildings violation as of June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2020 external low-pressure inspection. The building experienced multiple complaints in 2022 related to sprinkler system issues and illegal plumbing work, though these matters were addressed through a Stop Work Order and Oath Violation.

In 2023, there was a complaint about a sweep inspection which found no violations. The building's rodent inspection history shows generally positive results, with only one instance of rat activity recorded in September 2017, while all other inspections between 2010 and 2023 passed. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since their implementation, consistently reporting zero infestations over the past several years.
