89 East 42nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

89 East 42nd Street is a two-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Leroy Thomas. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in June 2024, there were plumbing water supply issues that required immediate emergency response, though no violations were issued following the HPD inspection.

The building has open violations related to bedbug report filings for the years 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, suggesting non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements regarding annual bedbug reporting. The property has also faced various appliance-related complaints in 2021, including issues with a refrigerator and an electric/gas range, though these were classified as non-emergency and no violations were issued following HPD inspections. The building's inspection history shows some recent improvements, as indicated by a rodent inspection in October 2023 that passed successfully.

However, there was a significant food establishment-related complaint in December 2023 regarding rodents, insects, or garbage that remained open until June 2024, though it was ultimately administratively closed with confirmation that the issue was addressed. The property's plumbing issues in 2024 represent the most recent maintenance concern on record. While some complaints have been addressed promptly and closed, the pattern of bedbug report violations and recurring plumbing issues indicate ongoing maintenance challenges at the property.
