24 West 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024
The four-story, eight-unit building at 24 West 89th Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Maurico Silva, has experienced several significant and ongoing maintenance issues from 2024 through July 2025. Most notably, there is an active investigation into the illegal use of basement space for hotel purposes, with multiple complaints (2023-2025) showing inspectors' inability to gain access during multiple attempts.
The building currently faces multiple open violations from a September 2024 inspection of Apartment 1A, including defective mechanical fixtures, unsafe electrical conditions, and water leaks affecting the kitchen and ceiling areas, with some categorized as Class B and C violations requiring urgent attention. The property has a history of maintenance complaints, particularly regarding water leaks, electrical issues, and ceiling damage, with the most recent cluster of complaints in September 2024 involving slow water leaks, lighting problems, and paint/plaster issues. Additional concerns include several open Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to the illegal basement conversion from mid-2023, with penalties totaling $75,000 due to non-compliance with various orders.
The building also has multiple active violations for failure to file required inspection reports, including external low-pressure inspections for 2020-2021 and a boiler inspection for 2017. While recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passed, previous years (2018-2022) showed some instances of rat activity. The building's violation history and maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with property upkeep, particularly in addressing water-related problems and ensuring compliance with housing regulations.
