306 East 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

306 East 89th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by John McCarthy. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with nine documented complaints between October 2022 and December 2024, including multiple emergency complaints in January 2024 alone.

While most of these complaints were eventually resolved, the building suffered a particularly concerning incident in December 2024 when HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported lack of heat or hot water. Beyond the heating system problems, the building has maintained a generally acceptable living environment, with regular rodent inspections showing "Passed" results in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2019, though there was one instance of "Rat Activity" noted in 2018.

The building experienced a single pest-related issue in February 2022, which HPD could not inspect, but bedbug reports since then have shown no infestations, with the most recent reports from 2023-2025 indicating zero infested units or eradicated units. The building has had two Housing Maintenance Code violations - one in 2022 related to bedbug reporting requirements (which remains uncertified) and another in October 2022 regarding the placement of inspection certificates near mailboxes, though this was subsequently certified as corrected.
