428 East 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128
428 East 89th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building located on the Upper East Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Fatmir Lajqi. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints recorded in 2025, 2024, and 2023, all involving the entire building and closed without access being granted for inspection.
The property faced significant pest-related challenges in 2023, with multiple complaints filed in July and August regarding unsanitary conditions, though HPD was unable to gain access for proper inspection in some cases. The building has had several maintenance violations addressed in recent years, including a 2024 Class C violation regarding defective self-closing doors in Apartment 3D, and multiple bulkhead door issues identified in 2023. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the past two years (2023-2024), and has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2018, with the most recent inspections in 2024 showing compliance.
Historical complaints from 2021-2022 include the requirement to file annual bedbug reports and some building access issues. The building's Department of Buildings history shows inspections in 2018-2020 regarding permits and illegal hotel room allegations, though no violations were found during these inspections. While there have been several emergency heat/hot water complaints and pest-related issues, the building's overall maintenance record shows regular inspections and prompt attention to reported violations, with most recent issues being promptly addressed under HPD and DOHMH guidelines.
