422 East 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128
The 9-story, 21-unit building at 422 East 89th Street, owned by Barbara Hellman, has a significant history of facade-related issues and regulatory non-compliance that continues to impact the property as of July 2025. Most recently, in early 2025, violations were issued regarding the building's unsafe conditions and failure to file required FISP Cycle 9B reports. In December 2024, the building was cited for unsafe facade conditions with spalling cracks on the north elevation and balcony issues, resulting in a $10,000 penalty.
Previous facade-related violations include a 2019 citation for spalling below balcony slabs with exposed rebar and rusted lintels, though this was resolved with a $2,500 penalty. The building has also faced repeated failures to comply with energy efficiency reporting requirements between 2021 and 2025, including benchmarking and energy efficiency score display violations. Despite these facade and regulatory challenges, the building has maintained a relatively good record in other maintenance areas.
Bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 consistently show zero infested units, while regular rodent inspections (2012-2024) have all resulted in passing grades, indicating effective pest management. The building has demonstrated annual compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent submission in December 2024 showing no infestation cases for the 2023-2024 period. While the building has faced numerous violations, most are related to facade maintenance and regulatory compliance rather than direct resident safety concerns, though the ongoing facade issues are noteworthy.
