98 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027
98 Morningside Avenue is a 7-story, 48-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Harlem, owned by Calynne Oyolokor and completed in 1910. As of July 2025, the building has numerous open violations requiring attention, with the most recent complaints (from March 2025) including issues with paint/plaster (ceiling), flooring (floor), door (door), and plumbing (water supply) problems. Between January 2025 and March 2025, similar issues were reported regarding walls, windows, and various plumbing fixtures including bathtubs, showers, and toilets.
The building has also experienced several maintenance challenges in recent years, including an active Class C violation from November 2024 for roach infestation in Apartment 55, and multiple plumbing-related complaints in 2023 affecting Apartment 41. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints in 2024 about single device operation and no alternate service, though most were found with no violations upon inspection. The building's maintenance history shows some improvement in certain areas, such as a consistent pattern of bedbug reporting showing minimal infestations in recent years (with the last confirmed case in 2021).
Rodent inspections have yielded mixed results, with several failures for "Other Reasons" noted between 2023-2024, though recent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 passed. The building has faced administrative compliance issues, with open violations regarding failure to submit required FISP Cycle 9A reports (active as of 2022) and various benchmarking report requirements. While some violations from 2023-2024 have been resolved, including issues with damaged walls, ceilings, and electrical wiring in Apartments 41 and 47, the accumulation of recent complaints in 2025 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention. The above report reflects data through October 2023 and ongoing issues as of July 2025, with particular attention to the most recent and significant violations affecting resident comfort and safety.
