326 East 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The five-story Old Law Tenement building at 326 East 89th Street, owned by Tal Adini, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2022. Most notably, there is an ongoing Department of Health complaint from July 2022 regarding construction lead dust in common areas. In April 2023, multiple housing maintenance violations were documented, including problems with the roof bulkhead door (missing operable knob, illegal fastening, defective self-closing mechanism), as well as safety concerns involving propane heaters and combustible material storage in the rear yard.

While these violations were subsequently closed in May 2023 after certification of repairs, they indicate past safety concerns. The building has also faced challenges with unauthorized work, as evidenced by six "After Hours Work - Illegal" complaints between February and May 2023, though inspections resulted in no violations being warranted in any of these cases. Two annual bedbug reports (2021-2022 and 2022-2023) were filed showing zero infested units, and the building has maintained consistent rodent inspection compliance, passing all inspections from 2012 through 2024.

The property's regulatory history shows a generally proactive approach to pest management, with regular bedbug reporting and rodent inspections consistently passing since 2012. The building's ownership has properly addressed most documented violations, as evidenced by the closure of several maintenance violations after certification in May 2023. However, the presence of an ongoing DOHMH lead dust complaint from 2022 and the pattern of construction-related complaints in 2023 may warrant attention. The building's age (constructed in 1920) and designation as an Old Law Tenement must be considered in the context of these violations and maintenance history.
