99 Perry Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The five-story, 20-unit tenement building at 99 Perry Street in the West Village, owned by Francisco Funez, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2018, with particular concerns around building systems and safety. Most recently, in March 2025, the building passed rodent inspections, following a rat activity finding in April 2024. The building has had recurring problems with pests, including multiple complaints in early 2020 and a mold issue reported in February 2020. December 2018 was a particularly challenging month, with violations issued for multiple issues including fire escape problems, water leaks, electrical concerns, door issues, and unsanitary conditions.

A noteworthy safety concern emerged from a November 2018 complaint about locked/blocked egress, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the issue. The building's recent history shows improvements in pest management, with bedbug reports from 2020-2024 showing no infestations or re-infestations in the last five reporting periods. Compliance with rodent inspections has improved, with all recent inspections passing. Several violations from 2019-2020 required attention, including issues with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in apartment 2A, which were certified as corrected in December 2020.

The building's maintenance history indicates ongoing attention to safety and habitability issues, with varying success in achieving timely resolutions. While many past violations have been closed, some current issues remain, and the building's age (constructed in 1861) suggests inherent maintenance challenges. The property has undergone regular inspections for various compliance requirements, including bedbug reporting and rodent inspections, showing an apparent commitment to maintaining records and addressing issues as they arise. The most recent bedbug reports from December 2024 and the successful rodent inspection in March 2025 indicate improved conditions regarding these specific concerns.
