525 East 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128
525 East 89th Street is a 6-story, 70-unit residential building constructed in 1942 on the Upper East Side, currently owned by Lawrence Kaye. The property has experienced recurring issues with mold, with three emergency complaints filed in late 2024 and early 2025, though no violations were found upon HPD inspection in each case.
The building had a significant heat/hot water service interruption affecting the entire building in December 2022 and a plumbing violation related to a bathtub/shower issue in apartment 4B from 2019 that was issued but not listed as certified in the records. The property underwent four tenant safety inspections between 2022-2024, with multiple Oath Violations served and two inspections (October 2022 and December 2019) resulting in violations, including inadequate tenant protection plans and work done without proper permits. The building's management has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020-2024, with no confirmed infestations reported since 2020.
Multiple permits have been issued for exterior work between 2019-2021, and the property has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2010, with the most recent passing inspection in May 2023. Recent Environmental Control Board violations from March 2024 indicate noncompliance with previous commissioner's orders regarding tenant protection plans, resulting in a $2,530 penalty that remains active. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including problems with ventilation and exhaust systems in 2018-2019, most recent inspections and reports suggest improved conditions, with no active violations on record as of 2024 except for the outstanding ECB matter.
