217 East 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The 5-story, 20-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 217 East 89th Street, owned by Charlon Grima, was constructed in 1920 and has undergone multiple inspections and service requests over the past several years. Most notably, in July 2023, the building received several violations related to door security and safety systems, including issues with self-closing doors, defective latch sets at the vestibule door, and various safety notice requirements.

These violations included a combination of Class A (most severe) and Class B violations, specifically regarding the need to properly post notices for carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and building security information. Some of these violations remain open as of the latest records. The building experienced some plumbing-related service requests in July 2022, specifically regarding a toilet and water supply issues, though no violations were issued following the HPD inspection.

However, it is worth noting that despite these maintenance concerns, the building has maintained excellent pest control records, showing no evidence of bedbug infestations over the past seven reporting periods from 2019 to 2024. Additionally, rodent inspections conducted regularly from 2016 to 2025 consistently passed, indicating effective pest management. While the building has had some maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly regarding door functionality and safety notices, it benefits from a strong track record of pest control and regular inspections.
