89 Christopher Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

89 Christopher Street is a 6-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the West Village, constructed in 1872 and currently owned by Daniel Wrublin. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2023-2024, with seven emergency complaints filed in this category, including two identical complaints in November 2024 that were closed without inspection due to lack of access. A recent environmental control board violation from November 2023 identifies significant boiler room concerns, including a deteriorating ceiling, missing components, and safety hazards, for which a penalty of $310 was imposed.

In late 2023, the building received multiple housing maintenance code violations, including missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in Apartment 11, inadequate hot water supply, and locked access to the heating system. The building has a history of various maintenance and safety issues over the past five years, including three emergency boiler complaints in November 2023, plumbing issues, and unsanitary conditions in March 2023. Notable violations from previous years include building shaking concerns in 2021, multiple heat and hot water complaints, and issues with fire door maintenance.

While bedbug infestations were reported in 2019 (affecting 3-4 units), recent filings from 2022-2023 indicate no current infestations. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2017 through 2025, suggesting effective pest management practices. Several historical violations, including those related to egress and illegal hotel room use, have been resolved, though a 2020 mold issue and 2021 water leak problem in Apartment 7 were documented. The property has undergone various permit processes, with a significant window replacement project permitted in 2019.
