173 East 90th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

173 East 90th Street is a 5-story, 16-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Mario Portelli. The building has experienced recurring issues with garbage and recycling storage, with the most recent complaint filed in July 2024.

This complaint was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and closed without violations, though earlier in 2018, violations were documented regarding inadequate covers for garbage cans, specifically involving 14 trash receptacles in the basement compactor room. The building has maintained a proactive approach to pest management, with consistent rodent inspection results showing "Passed" since 2018, and no recent signs of rodent infestation. Furthermore, bedbug reports have been relatively minimal, with only one infested unit reported in the 2022-2023 period, and no infestations reported in the most recent 2023-2024 period.

Multiple plumbing and electrical permits were issued between late 2018 and 2019, suggesting regular maintenance and infrastructure updates. The building's maintenance history shows attention to building code requirements, with violations being addressed and closed within reasonable timeframes. While there have been several reports regarding garbage and recycling storage issues, the building's overall record indicates active management and prompt responses to maintenance concerns.
