317 East 90th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The 20-unit, 5-story tenement building at 317 East 90th Street in the Upper East Side, owned by Ahron Freidus, has experienced numerous maintenance and pest control issues in recent years. As of July 2025, there are multiple open complaints with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) including unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions and door-related issues. The building has ongoing rodent problems as evidenced by failed inspections in early 2025, though some inspections have shown passing results.

In September 2023, serious violations were documented in apartment 1B, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a defective self-closing door, water leaks in the bathroom, and pest infestations involving roaches, mice, and bedbugs. The property has an active pattern of sanitation-related complaints, particularly regarding garbage storage, with multiple open cases continuing into 2025. The building's recent history shows recurring challenges with pest control, including rats and historical bedbug issues, though recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no infested units.

Previous inspections revealed infrastructure concerns, including wall cracks and a broken window near the fire escape, resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation in November 2019. While some complaints have been resolved through inspection (such as those in late 2024), the persistence of multiple open violations as of mid-2025 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with all annual filings showing zero infested or re-infested units, though earlier periods saw actual infestations.
