212 East 90th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

212 East 90th Street is a 16-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side and owned by Martin Bloomfield. The 1910 structure has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most recent being a heavy water leak reported in July 2024. This incident was classified as an emergency but did not result in any violations after HPD inspection.

The building has a history of water-related problems, including a water supply plumbing issue in January 2021, which was also quickly addressed. More concerning is the active violation from November 2019 regarding an unfiled annual boiler inspection report, which remains unresolved as of 2025. The property has faced multiple quality of life challenges, including a period of pest infestation in August 2019 (though no violations were issued), and several housing maintenance code violations.

Recent inspections in July 2024 found violations related to a non-self-closing vestibule door and defective plaster and paint in Apartment 4E, while previous issues noted in 2019 involved multiple violations in Apartment 1WF, including problems with doors and wall surfaces, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected. The building's rodent control efforts have shown mixed results, with the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passing, though there was one failed inspection in October 2023. Importantly, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status for the past three reporting periods from 2021 to 2024, with only one reported case in 2019 which was resolved.
