199 Avenue B, Manhattan, NY 10009
The 23-unit, 6-story building at 199 Avenue B, owned by Lower East Side II Associates, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since late 2023, particularly with heat and hot water systems. The most recent complaints in April 2025 and December 2024 involved building-wide heat/hot water issues that required HPD intervention, though conditions were reportedly corrected in both instances.
Between October 2023 and November 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding various maintenance issues including plumbing problems (bathtub/shower and toilet) and electrical outlet/switch concerns, all of which were subsequently addressed. The building has also faced sanitation challenges, with pest-related complaints reported in November 2024 for which HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for inspection. The property has an active record of building code compliance efforts, with open violations as of 2024 related to delayed bedbug report filings, though previous inspections from 2019 through 2023 consistently showed no infested units or successful eradications.
Recent rodent inspections from 2023 to 2025 have generally passed, with only one instance of rat activity noted in February 2023, and the building has maintained compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements in recent years. Elevator maintenance has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints filed between 2019 and 2024 regarding the single-device elevator and lack of alternate service, though inspections consistently found no violations. Safety-related violations from 2022-2023 included issues with fire escape ladder shoes and window guards in one apartment, both of which were resolved.
