207 East 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

207 East 89th Street is a 5-story, 51-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Ahron Freidus. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025, with the most pressing concerns involving plumbing systems, including multiple open complaints regarding basin/sink, toilet, and bathtub/shower issues as of June 2025.

The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints in December 2024 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though these issues were resolved promptly. In late 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, and several violations were documented regarding defective self-closing doors, particularly those leading to the basement and fire doors on the first story. The building has maintained a generally favorable record with rodent control, passing multiple inspections between 2019-2025, though there were recent rat sightings reported in January 2025.

The property has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2018-2024, with no infestations reported in recent years. A notable violation occurred in August 2024 regarding blocked egress due to a refrigerator and other debris in the first-floor public hallway, resulting in a $1,250 penalty, though this violation was subsequently resolved. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems and compliance with housing regulations, particularly during late 2024 and into 2025, while also demonstrating periodic responsiveness to regulatory inspections and corrections.
