321 East 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

321 East 89th Street is a 34-unit, 5-story residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1950 and currently owned by Randy Glick. The building's maintenance record shows several concerning patterns, most notably regarding heating and pest issues in 2019, with a heat/hot water complaint for the entire building in April 2019 and an unsanitary condition complaint related to pests in November 2019, though both were closed without violations being issued.

More recent building violations include an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 for failing to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, and another active elevator-related violation from September 2019 regarding unaddressed defects from a 2017 inspection. The building has shown some improvements in pest management, as evidenced by consecutive bedbug reports from 2021 to 2025 showing no infested units or eradications. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues in the past, particularly in 2019 when rat activity was documented in both April and May inspections.

However, there has been significant improvement in recent years, with all rodent inspections from 2022 to 2024 passing successfully. A single safety-related violation was noted in July 2023 concerning a non-self-closing door at the vestibule, though this was classified as a "C" violation. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, the consistent passing of rodent inspections since 2022 and the absence of recent bedbug infestations suggest some improvement in overall building conditions.
