411 East 90th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

411 East 90th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Dennis McCarthy. The building has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, particularly related to garbage/recycling storage, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests and HPD complaints between 2022 and 2025. Most recently, an unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage was filed in June 2025 and remains open.

The property has shown persistent pest management challenges, with multiple reports of rodent activity between 2022 and 2024, including failed inspections and the need for bait application in early 2023. The building has also faced maintenance issues, particularly in apartment 2W, where multiple open violations were documented in December 2022 concerning security and functionality of smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, electrical outlets, radiator shut-off valves, and floor conditions. Additional concerns include safety matters regarding building entry systems, with violations noted in September 2022 related to self-closing doors.

The property has been subject to several scaffold-related complaints in late 2022 and early 2023, though inspections found no violations at the time. While recent bedbug reporting (2022-2024) shows zero affected units, indicating successful pest management in this area, the continued open violations and recurring maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The most recent rodent inspection (October 2024) passed, which indicates possible improvement in pest management, though this follows a history of inspection failures and treatment requirements throughout 2023.
