327 East 90th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

327 East 90th Street is a 5-story, 59-unit residential building constructed in 1930 on New York City's Upper East Side. The property has experienced several recurring issues in recent years, with the most significant being ongoing smoking violations in 2025, with multiple complaints about smoking in designated smoke-free areas occurring between April and June 2025. The building has also faced persistent rodent problems, with multiple reported instances of rat activity between 2023 and 2025, including failed inspections in July 2025 and earlier compliance failures on June 17, 2025, and October 25, 2024.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 include issues with water leaks, flooring problems, and pest infestations, particularly in the basement where both mice and roaches were documented. The property has undergone various inspections and remedial actions, with some improvements noted in 2024-2025. These include addressing fire escape obstructions, repairing missing door handles, and various maintenance work on bulkhead walls and ceilings.

A notable ceiling leak issue was documented in early 2023 in apartment 5F, along with several other maintenance violations related to paint, plaster, and floor conditions. The building has maintained a consistent record of being bedbug-free from 2018 through 2024, with no reported infestations or eradications. While the property has experienced multiple violations and service requests, many have been resolved or closed through inspections and corrective actions, though the recurring nature of some issues, particularly smoking violations and rodent activity, remains a concern as of the most recent inspections.
