57 West 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

57 West 89th Street is a 4-story, 9-unit residential building constructed in 1893, currently owned by Alan Tauber. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly notable during January 2022 when multiple tenant complaints were filed, representing both apartment-specific and building-wide problems. The most recent complaints include an unsanitary condition related to garbage/recycling storage in June 2023, though no violations were issued following an HPD inspection.

A significant cluster of violations was identified in June 2023 concerning self-closing doors in various areas, including basement stairs, laundry room, and public hall, along with issues requiring repair of defective plaster in the stairwell. These violations were subsequently addressed, with most being certified as corrected by July 2023. The building has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings (2023-2025) showing zero infested dwelling units.

Rodent inspections have shown variable results, with rat activity reported in multiple inspections between June and November 2019. However, more recent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024 have all resulted in "Passed" statuses, suggesting improved rodent control measures. The property has undergone several HPD inspections over the years, with varying outcomes, though many recent complaints have been resolved without violations being issued. The building's maintenance history shows attention to regulatory requirements, though the recurring nature of some heat/hot water issues and self-closing door violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
