321 West 90th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

321 West 90th Street is a 10-story, 54-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Kara Freeman. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning incident occurring in January 2020 when multiple violations were recorded relating to unpermitted commercial gas dryer installations in the basement laundry room, including improper gas supply connections and lack of required inspections ($4,375 in penalties, though records show some were dismissed).

During this period, there were also heating system failures affecting the entire building in January 2020, and issues with appliances including an electric/gas range in March 2020. A gas utility referral and plumbing complaint were logged in January 2020, with one resulting in an OATH violation. More recent history shows improved conditions, with the building passing multiple rodent inspections between 2018 and 2025, and no recorded bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019 through 2023.

The building filed its required annual bedbug reports during this period, all showing zero infested units. The most recent Department of Buildings inspection in 2023 found no violations, and while there were some bedbug reporting violations noted in 2021 and 2022 inspections, these were subsequently resolved. The building has maintained regular compliance with housing codes in recent years, with no significant resident complaints or violations recorded since the 2020 incidents.
