327 East 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The 5-story, 10-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 327 East 89th Street, owned by Tal Adini and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is the ongoing rodent problem, with multiple inspections between 2023-2024 showing rat activity and failed compliance results, though the most recent October 2024 inspection passed.

The building had its most recent violation issued in August 2023 regarding unsafe window A/C unit supports on the 2nd and 5th floors, for which a $500 penalty was imposed and remains active. In 2022, there were significant concerns regarding worker safety during renovations, with violations noted for endangering conditions and the lack of fire extinguishers during construction work, though these were ultimately resolved.

The property has exhibited a pattern of construction-related complaints, particularly in 2022, with multiple reports of work being conducted without permits, excessive debris, and after-hours work, though most of these were found to warrant no violations upon inspection. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years, and the building has maintained regular, passing inspections for most of the past decade, the recurring rodent issues and the recent A/C support violation suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's violations and complaints records show improved responsiveness to issues over time, with recent violations being addressed more promptly than earlier issues, such as the 2022 worker safety concerns which took longer to resolve.
