109 East 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The five-story, 18-unit building at 109 East 89th Street, owned by Bruce Haley, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past 18 months, with the most recent complaints filed in April 2025 remaining unresolved. Current open complaints involve problems with windows, flooring, wall conditions, and an electric/gas range, all of which have been reported to HPD. The building has faced notable challenges with heat and hot water during late 2023, with two separate complaints recorded in November 2023 affecting the entire building.

There were also plumbing issues in January 2023, including both slow leak and heavy flow problems, with some violations issued during inspections. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of infrastructure concerns, particularly in apartment 4H during early 2023, where multiple violations were documented involving water leak repairs, plaster surface repairs, and pest control requirements. An illegal alteration of a dumbwaiter into a garbage chute has also been noted as an open violation since March 2023.

While the building has maintained a passing record on rodent inspections conducted in recent years (2016-2025), it had a bedbug infestation reported in 2019, though subsequent annual reports from 2020 through 2024 indicate no further infestations. Two separate complaints regarding potential illegal conversions and illegal hotel rooms were filed in 2019 and 2022, but access issues prevented confirmation of the violations. The building's most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 resulted in a passing grade, continuing the pattern of successful pest management in recent years.
