320 West 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

320 West 89th Street is a 9-story, 36-unit residential building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Nicole Lawrence. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in November 2024, though inspection access was not granted. A substantial cluster of violations was documented in late 2024, primarily focusing on fire safety and building entrance requirements, including issues with self-closing doors, missing certificates, and signage related to smoke detector requirements and building registration.

These violations, classified as A and C, were subsequently certified as resolved between December 2024 and January 2025. The building's maintenance history shows a mixture of challenges and compliance improvements. While there was a rodent sighting reported in 2020 (which the Department of Health investigated and found no violations), more recent rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have all passed.

The property has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019 to 2025 showing zero cases. Historical complaints and violations, including plumbing-related issues in 2019 and various building permits issued between 2018 and 2020, suggest ongoing maintenance activities, though most have been resolved or closed. The timing of recent violations, occurring primarily in late 2024, indicates a period requiring increased attention to compliance with building safety regulations, particularly regarding fire safety systems and building access requirements.
