99 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003

99 3rd Avenue is a 6-story, 32-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Annabelle Santiago. The East Village property has experienced persistent water-related issues in recent years, with multiple service requests between 2024 and 2025 citing slow leaks, though not all inspections found housing law violations. More recently, in April 2025, complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions and flooring issues, while earlier that year, there were concerns about inadequate heat.

The building has had ongoing safety concerns, particularly related to window guards, with a November 2024 complaint about broken/missing window guards being classified as an emergency. Between 2024 and 2025, several Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued regarding problematic self-closing doors in stairways, particularly at the 3rd to 5th stories, and issues with fire-rated doors. Environmental concerns have also been documented, with a 2023 vibration issue involving the restaurant's ventilation system leading to a $625 penalty.

The building's recent history shows active management of pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, though rodent inspections have shown mixed results. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, consistently showing no infested or re-infested units. Four heavy water leak emergencies were documented in 2024, and as of May 2025, there appears to be an ongoing rodent management challenge, with failed inspections in April and May 2025 indicating active rat activity. The building's condition has required multiple inspections and violations, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges that require monitoring for any improvements or further deterioration.
