53 West 90th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

53 West 90th Street is a historic 4-story, 14-unit building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1886 and currently owned by Yvonne Pliskin. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly in late 2020 and throughout 2021, with several emergency complaints filed.

The property has also faced multiple door-related problems, including two simultaneous emergency complaints in October 2020 that were not able to be inspected, and another door complaint in January 2021 that resulted in violations. In 2021, there were issues with the building's intercom/buzzer system, also leading to an inspection where access was denied. Recent inspections and violations indicate continued maintenance needs.

As of April 2024, there is an open violation regarding the need for light-colored paint on ceilings and walls in the building's first, second, and third-story public halls, as well as work required on the sandstone joints at the facade on the third story. The building has met bedbug reporting requirements consistently, with no confirmed infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2024), and passed recent rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though there was one incident of rat activity noted in April 2022. The property has shown improvements in pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported since 2020 and consistent passing of rodent inspections since 2022, suggesting recent management attention to maintenance and safety.
