246 East 90th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The 20-unit, 5-story tenement building at 246 East 90th Street, owned by Michael Crespo, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2019, with the most recent concerns emerging in early 2025. There are recurring water leak issues, including slow leaks reported in February 2025 and September 2024, along with a recent mold complaint from February 2025 that HPD was unable to inspect. The building has faced heating and hot water problems, with two separate incidents in 2022, one of which required emergency response.

Of particular concern are several open violations related to structural integrity in Apartment 4C, including sloping floors affecting multiple rooms and a bathroom tile issue, first documented in November 2019 and still listed as active. These violations resulted in Environmental Control Board citations for failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner, with penalties issued. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections from 2017 through 2025, all showing "Passed" results, indicating effective pest management.

While bedbug reports have been filed annually since 2019, showing zero infested or re-infested units in the most recent filings, the building's history includes multiple complaints requiring HPD inspections, though some inspections were not completed. The property has also experienced multiple complaints regarding building stability and vibration issues in late 2019, though most were resolved without violations being found. Recent building records show the filing of annual bedbug reports through 2024, all indicating no infestation issues, and regular rodent inspections consistently yielding positive results for pest control.
