236 East 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128
236 East 89th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Rose Nigro. The building's recent history is marked by several significant maintenance and safety issues, particularly during 2020-2021, when multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, heating problems, and window frame issues. In August 2020, the building experienced documented violations related to garbage/recycling storage, heat and hot water availability, and safety equipment such as carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors, particularly affecting apartment 1B.
The property faced substantial maintenance challenges in 2021, with complaints about mold, pests, and window frames, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection in these instances. The building has experienced recurring heating issues, with emergency complaints about heat and hot water in both 2018 and 2020. More positive developments include a consistent record of rodent inspections in recent years, with the building passing inspections in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, and showing only one instance of rat activity in 2021.
The bedbug reporting records from 2019 through 2024 indicate no infestations, with all reports showing zero affected units. The Department of Buildings records show three permits issued in October 2018, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the data provided. While the building has made some progress in maintaining basic safety standards, the concentration of complaints and violations in 2020-2021 suggests there were significant maintenance challenges during that period, though more recent inspections indicate improved conditions.
