432 East 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

432 East 89th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Ahron Freidus. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concerns around heating and plumbing systems. Most notably, there were two heat/hot water emergencies in 2019 and 2020 (in apartments B and possibly others), multiple rodent activity reports between 2022-2025, and recent window frame concerns as of December 2024.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in late 2020, including inadequate heat supply, pest infestations, and issues with fire egress safety in apartment B, while 2019 saw problems with fire escape maintenance and the need for improved emergency lighting throughout the building. The most recent inspection from January 2025 resulted in rodent control measures being implemented. The building has undergone various inspections and repairs in response to violations, though some issues have demonstrated persistence, such as the recurring heating system problems and rodent activity.

The property has maintained an active Bedbug Reporting history, showing one infested unit in 2022-2023 and reporting no current infestations as of December 2024. Several Housing Maintenance Code violations were identified and addressed, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and various maintenance issues in apartment B. The building's management appears to be responsive to violations when identified, as evidenced by multiple certified correction notices, though some concerns have required repeated attention over the years.
