328 East 90th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

328 East 90th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Ronald Swartz. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly notable in February 2024 when multiple complaints were filed regarding inadequate service throughout the building and in individual apartments (including units 1A and 5C), leading to several Housing Maintenance Code violations.

These violations were mostly addressed by late February 2024, though one Class C violation for inadequate heat in apartment 1A remains open as of October 2023. Security and access issues were also documented during this period, with violations for defective self-closing doors at the building entrance and various apartment doors, though these were subsequently corrected. More recent concerns have shifted focus to rodent activity, with documented rat sightings in June 2025 and June 2024, the latter resulting in violations according to DOHMH records.

The building's rodent inspections have shown variable results, with the most recent June 2025 inspection noting rat activity, while September 2024, October 2023, and previous inspections generally passed or required bait application. The property maintains an active bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2025, with all reports showing zero infested units, suggesting effective management of this issue. While the building has faced multiple maintenance challenges over recent years, particularly in early 2024 regarding heating and door/security issues, many violations have been addressed through subsequent repairs and inspections.
