89 East 116th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
89 East 116th Street is a 5-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1910 in East Harlem, currently owned by Akshay Sachdev. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with significant problems between late 2023 and mid-2024 including multiple water-related complaints (heavy flow, slow leaks, damp spots), unauthorized modifications, and heating system failures. A Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspection in April 2024 resulted in several violation notices for Apartment 1, including issues with smoke detector functionality, carbon monoxide detector presence, light fixtures, and doors, though all violations were subsequently certified as corrected.
The building has also faced repeated pest management challenges, with documented bedbug infestations in 2022 affecting multiple units, and rodent inspections showing variable results between 2022 and 2025, including some failures for "Other Reasons" in late 2023. The property's history shows persistent maintenance challenges, with particular attention needed in early 2024 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heating and water issues. The owners received two Environmental Control Board violations in 2021 and 2018 related to maintenance and unauthorized work, respectively.
Despite these challenges, recent inspections in 2025 have resulted in "Passed" ratings, suggesting improvements in building conditions. The current permits (as of March and November 2025) indicate ongoing maintenance and improvement work, with the most recent permit issuance showing active engagement in building upkeep. While the property's recent history shows improved inspection results and permit activity, the pattern of recurring maintenance issues and the need for multiple inspections suggest that attention to building systems and tenant comfort have been ongoing challenges for this century-old structure.
