206 West 99th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

206 West 99th Street is a 6-story, 26-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Scott Goldenberg. The property has experienced recurrent heating issues, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water in November 2023 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Most recently, in July 2024, there was a complaint about unsanitary conditions related to pests, though HPD was unable to access the building for inspection. Between 2023 and 2024, the building has also faced maintenance issues including problems with flooring, walls, and mold, with some conditions being verified as corrected while others remain unresolved.

The building's history reveals significant concerns regarding unauthorized use and safety compliance. In 2022, there were violations related to illegal transient use, particularly concerning safety systems like sprinklers and fire alarms, though these were subsequently resolved. The property has maintained an active record of rodent inspections, showing both successful compliance results and instances of rat activity in recent years, with the most recent inspection in August 2024 passing. Despite these ongoing issues, the building has had consistent bedbug monitoring since 2019, with no reported infestations in the past five years.

Various housing code violations have been documented and addressed, including concerns about window guards, door repairs, and lighting conditions, particularly in apartment 1C. Three attempted inspections regarding illegal conversions or transient use were recorded between 2023 and 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access in each instance. Recent infrastructure improvements are indicated by multiple permits issued in April 2019 for plumbing and electrical work, suggesting some level of ongoing maintenance and system upgrades. The building's violation and complaint history demonstrate a pattern of maintenance challenges, though many issues have been addressed through official inspections and corrections. The property has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in recent annual filings, maintaining compliance with city health requirements in this area.
