163 East 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128
The five-story tenement building at 163 East 89th Street, owned by Fukuoka Road Co., Ltd, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with three separate complaints in 2025 and 2023 from multiple tenants reporting inadequate service. While these complaints were classified as emergencies, investigations by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) faced access issues and were unable to confirm the conditions. The building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations from 2019 through 2024, with all quarterly reports showing zero infested or re-infested units.
Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with rat activity reported in September and November 2024, though the most recent inspection from May 2025 passed without issues. Historical records from 2015-2024 reveal various maintenance and safety concerns, including multiple violations related to building maintenance requirements such as refuse accumulation, signage requirements, and hot water supply issues. Specific violations include problems with the air shaft and rear yard cleanliness, as well as interior issues in apartment 1RW involving floor repairs and painting.
The building's maintenance history shows some longstanding issues, including a 2016 violation regarding the placement of required inspection certificates near mailboxes. However, the most recent documented permits (issued December 2021) and safety inspection results suggest improved compliance with safety requirements. While several complaints were filed in 2022 regarding construction, tenant safety, and debris, inspections generally found no violations warranting action.
