99 Featherbed Lane, Bronx, NY 10452

99 Featherbed Lane is a 5-story, 19-unit New Law Tenement building located in Morris Heights and owned by Vincent Romano. The property, constructed in 1915, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints filed through 311 and HPD between October 2023 and May 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These emergency complaints were typically resolved quickly, often within one to two days, with tenants confirming restoration of services.

The building has maintained a consistent record of rodent control, with recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing successfully, and no bedbug infestations reported in the past five annual filings from 2021 to 2025. The building has undergone several maintenance issues and violations, particularly concentrated in apartment 4C, which had multiple violations issued in November 2023 regarding various repairs needed, including issues with doors, cabinets, and the bathroom fixtures. Apartment 4A also had violations requiring attention to floor tiles and plastered surfaces.

While three complaints related to unsanitary conditions (pests) were filed in October 2023, these were closed after verification of resolution. The property has a history of fair building maintenance with regular inspections, and while there have been several complaints regarding unauthorized work and electrical issues in prior years (2020-2021), these were investigated and closed without violation. The building's 311 complaint history shows a dominant pattern of heat-related issues, while apartment maintenance violations have been addressed through official channels and most recent records show no active violations as of early 2025.
