89 Clinton Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

89 Clinton Street is a 5-story, 12-unit residential building located in New York City's Lower East Side, built in 1920 and currently owned by Ben Soleimani. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with particularly concerning patterns emerging in 2023-2025. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, with the most recent one reported in January 2025 and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) unable to gain access for inspection.

The building has a significant history of mold and pest-related issues, with multiple complaints filed between 2023 and 2024, some of which were marked as emergency complaints. There are also ongoing rodent control efforts in place, with multiple baiting operations and confirmed rat activity reported throughout 2025. The building has several open violations as of the latest inspections from 2022-2023, including issues with water leaks, fire safety materials, and a defective self-closing door in apartment 1R.

While there have been no documented bedbug infestations in recent years (with all reports showing zero infested units), the building's maintenance record shows persistent challenges with basic systems and sanitation requiring attention. The property has undergone various inspections and service requests through HPD and the Department of Buildings, with some inspections unable to be completed due to access issues. Notably, there was a boiler-related complaint in January 2025 that also required multiple inspection attempts. The building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and pest control, though there is evidence of regular attempts by management to address these issues through service requests and inspections.
