216 West 99th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

216 West 99th Street is a 6-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Avi Stern. The building has experienced recurring heating and water supply issues over recent years, with particular concerns between late 2022 and early 2023 when multiple complaints were filed regarding building-wide heat and hot water outages, though these were generally resolved following HPD inspections.

The most recent issues involve water supply problems, with inspections attempted but not completed in November 2024, and similar non-emergency plumbing issues reported in September 2023. Apartment 22 has been the focus of several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including issues with bathroom fixtures, plumbing, heating, and various maintenance concerns documented between 2021 and 2022, though all these violations have been closed. The building has maintained regular rodent inspection compliance, with all inspections since 2022 passing, and no infestations reported since 2024.

However, there was a significant bedbug infestation period noted between 2020-2023, with three infested units reported in both 2021-2022 and 2022-2023, though all affected units were treated and eradicated. An important building systems issue occurred in May 2021 regarding a defective boiler, resulting in an ECB violation for corroded water feed pipes and safety valve concerns, though this was resolved with no penalties. The building's management has generally responded to violations and complaints, as evidenced by multiple closed violations and resolved service requests, though the frequency and nature of these issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
