307 East 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

307 East 89th Street is a 54-unit, 6-story residential building in the Upper East Side, constructed in 1973 and currently owned by 307 E 89th Street LLC. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent cluster of complaints in April 2025 involving multiple plumbing problems (including sinks, toilets, bathtubs/showers, and water supply issues), door problems, wall damage, and mold. An emergency heat/hot water issue was reported in October 2024, following a similar incident in May 2023, indicating potential ongoing system reliability concerns.

The building has documented violations related to elevator service and fire safety controls in 2021, along with several regulatory non-compliances regarding energy reporting requirements from 2020-2023. Notably, there was a significant pest control issue in October 2021 involving cockroaches in apartment 1B, though more recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no active infestations, with only one unit requiring eradication treatment. The property has maintained regular rodent control inspections, with all passing results from 2016 through 2024, suggesting effective pest management in this area.

While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, inspections in 2023 and 2024 generally found no violations for certain complaints (e.g., water supply issues), though emergency responses were required for other problems. The pattern of complaints and violations indicates a need for ongoing maintenance attention, particularly regarding plumbing and heating systems, though there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2022 and rodent problems appear to be well-managed. The most recent 311 service requests in 2025 were notably marked by the HPD's inability to complete inspections, which could indicate access or communication challenges within the building.
