Questions about this building

Does 535 East 87 Street, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 535 East 87 Street, Manhattan had 42 open violations on September 26, 2026: 42 from HPD. 17 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.

Is 535 East 87 Street, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 31 certifications filed against 14 new Class C in the last 180 days. That window ends September 26, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 535 East 87 Street, Manhattan?

Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 20 Class C violations, all 20 by the original certify-by date. HPD now marks 1 of them False Certification. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Has DOB received complaints about 535 East 87 Street, Manhattan?

Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed September 5, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 535 East 87 Street, Manhattan marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 28, 2023: a general construction order, opened August 13, 2025, awarded for $550. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

Does 535 East 87 Street, Manhattan have a certificate of occupancy?

Its latest certificate of occupancy is a final one, issued April 11, 2019. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.

Is 535 East 87 Street, Manhattan rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 535 East 87 Street, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1910 as the year 535 East 87 Street, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 5 floors.

How many apartments does 535 East 87 Street, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 15 residential units at 535 East 87 Street, Manhattan. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 26, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
