Augrented Insights Report for 121 East 89th Street

121 East 89th Street is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building situated in Manhattan's Upper East Side, originally constructed in 1889 and currently owned by Zare Balassanian. The building has experienced several notable structural and compliance issues in recent years, most significantly in 2022 when concerns about façade stability emerged, leading to multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations.

In September 2022, there were reports of decorative stone and debris falling from the 4th floor, requiring the emergency installation of sidewalk protection and subsequent structural monitoring. This resulted in several Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to the failure to submit required engineer reports, though these were eventually resolved. As of April 2024, there remains an active DOB violation regarding an undocumented 2022 external low-pressure inspection.

The building has maintained a proactive approach to pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years, as documented in the most recent bedbug reports from March 2025. All previous bedbug violations from 2021-2023 were properly addressed, and the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2016, indicating effective pest management practices. While the building has had its share of violations, particularly relating to facade stability and inspection requirements, recent records show improved compliance with housing maintenance codes and pest control regulations.
