210 East 90th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The 5-story, 16-unit residential building at 210 East 90th Street, owned by Jennifer Pardee and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over its history, with the most recent concerns centering on the boiler system and rodent activity. Most notably, in December 2023, the building was cited for multiple violations in the boiler room area, including exposed wiring, corroded piping, and an improperly maintained door, resulting in a $312 penalty.

This followed a complaint about a defective boiler earlier that same month. The building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations since 2018, with no reported cases in the past several years, though there was one rodent activity incident noted in June 2025, marking a departure from the building's generally successful rodent control history, which had seen consistent "Passed" inspections from 2019 to 2024. Historical records reveal long-standing compliance issues from the 1990s, particularly concerning unauthorized alterations and usage of basement spaces, including illegal apartment and commercial space conversions, which resulted in multiple open violations.

Despite these past issues, the building has shown improvement in recent years, though the recent boiler room violations and rodent activity suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has had two notable complaints in recent years: a 2018 investigation into illegal hotel rooms (which ended with an inspector unable to gain access) and the recent boiler-related issues, both of which demonstrate the building's potential for regulatory compliance challenges. The property's long history of open violations related to basement usage and alterations, dating back to 1992, suggests some unresolved historical compliance issues, though these are less frequently cited in recent years.
