171 East 99th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
171 East 99th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in East Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Anthony Ventura. The building has experienced persistent heating issues in early 2025, with two separate complaints in January and February regarding no heat or hot water affecting the entire building, though these were reportedly resolved before inspection.
The property has a documented history of pest problems, with multiple complaints about vermin and unsanitary conditions between 2024 and 2022, including a specific ongoing violation as of September 2024 for water bugs in Apartment 16. The building's infrastructure has shown concerning patterns, including several heat/hot water emergencies in late 2023, door/window issues, and a notable sequence of complaints in 2020 regarding building stability, debris, and egress concerns, although these were generally not substantiated upon inspection. Recent inspections and service requests indicate some improvement in maintenance practices, with the building passing rodent inspections in 2025 and October 2024, following several instances of rat activity in previous years.
The property has generated multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations over the past few years, including open violations related to pest infestation and various repair needs in Apartment 16 (such as mold, floor tiles, and door issues). Historical records from 2018-2020 show multiple permits issued for work on the building, including plumbing and electrical modifications, though there were also complaints about work contrary to stop work orders during this period, which were ultimately deemed unsubstantiated. The building's record shows consistent filing of bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 indicating no infestations during these periods.
