317 West 99th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

317 West 99th Street is an 8-story, 34-unit New Law tenement building located in NYC's Upper West Side, constructed in 1911 and currently owned by 317 West 99th Street Associates. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with significant problems documented between 2022-2025 including water leaks, window frame deterioration, sanitation concerns, and rodent activity. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints regarding water leaks in 2024, though HPD inspections were unable to gain access to verify these issues.

In 2023, there were documented unsanitary conditions including pest infestations and garbage storage problems, with some violations issued. The building also experienced temporary heat and hot water loss in March 2023, though it was reported restored during HPD's response. Inspection records reveal an ongoing rodent control challenge, with multiple inspections between 2022-2024 showing rat activity, though a recent August 2024 inspection passed.

The building has had several violations related to building maintenance and safety, including the need for proper bedbug reporting (which has been consistently filed as having no infested units since 2020), broken entrance doors, and issues with self-closing doors in the basement. Notable historical violations from 2018-2019 included failure to maintain building exterior walls and facade issues, though these were ultimately resolved. The property has also had multiple "Work Without a Permit" complaints between 2020-2023, though inspections did not warrant violations in these cases. While there have been various repair permits issued between 2019-2021 for electrical work, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with timely repair and maintenance of building systems and infrastructure.
