29 West 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 29 West 89th Street in the Upper West Side, currently owned by Pedro Rodriguez, has maintained a consistent pattern of addressing both pest management and regulatory compliance issues since 2021. The building has 8 units and was built in 1895.

There is an ongoing concern regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with open Class A Housing Maintenance Code Violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all related to the failure to submit the required annual bedbug report to HPD. A significant safety issue was noted in 2021 when a lack of proper means of egress was recorded for third-floor treatment use in apartment 2A, though this Environmental Control Board violation was resolved with no penalties imposed. The building has experienced several rodent-related incidents, including a rat sighting in May 2022 that was referred to another agency by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

While the building appeared to have persistent rodent activity in May 2022, subsequent rodent inspections in 2023, 2024, and earlier years consistently passed, suggesting improved pest management in recent times. A violation recorded in January 2022 regarding failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous ECB violation was dismissed in February 2022. The building's inspection history shows regular monitoring and attempts to address identified issues, though the recurring bedbug report violations indicate ongoing documentation compliance challenges.
