316 East 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

316 East 89th Street is a five-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Jarrod Musano. The building, classified as an Old Law Tenement, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with the most recent complaint filed in April 2025, following a pattern of similar complaints dating back to at least December 2021. While most of these complaints were eventually resolved, the frequency and persistence of heat-related issues suggest an ongoing maintenance concern.

The building has undergone several regulatory inspections and enforcement actions in recent years, including a series of violations identified during a July 2023 inspection, which required the correction of various safety and notification requirements such as fire escape maintenance, smoke detector notices, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and gas leak procedures. Historical records show multiple complaints regarding unauthorized work in 2022, though inspectors consistently found no violations warranting enforcement action. A bedbug report from December 2024 indicated two affected units, with one reported as re-infested.

On a positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2018 and 2024, with only one failure noted in late 2017 for unspecified reasons. The property's maintenance history suggests attention to basic building systems, as evidenced by the prompt response to most complaints and the closure of various violations following inspection. While the heat and hot water issues remain a notable concern, the building's overall regulatory compliance has improved, with recent inspections showing prompt correction of identified violations. The 2023 inspections resulted in the resolution of multiple safety and notification requirement violations that had persisted for several years, indicating improved management responsiveness to regulatory requirements.
