155 89th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11209
155 89th Street is a 4-story, 16-unit "New Law Tenement" building constructed in 1928 in Fort Hamilton, currently owned by Katherine Ingravallo. The building has faced several pressing maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including multiple reports of pests and water leaks, as well as problems with paint/plaster on ceilings and window frames. Notably, there was a safety-related violation concerning the carbon monoxide detector, which was classified as an emergency.
A December 2024 inspection revealed two open Class C violations in apartment D4 regarding scalding hot water (measured at 146 degrees) and defective self-closing doors, though other violations from that inspection period were subsequently closed, including issues with fire escape obstructions. The building's documented history shows consistent attention to bedbug prevention, with no reported infestations in the past five annual reports between 2021 and 2024. Previous violations regarding fire escape obstructions were noted in both 2022 and 2024, when flower pots were found blocking emergency egress routes on the third and fourth-story balconies.
An April 2024 inspection found issues with refuse accumulation in the north/east courtyard and the building's unsafe encumbrances were cited in separate inspections. While there have been complaints about water damage (damp spots) and unsanitary conditions (including mold) in 2025, many of these issues received violations requiring correction. The building's history includes two previous complaints about egress obstruction in 2019 and 2021, though no violations were substantiated upon inspection.
