A replacement can not be made to fill a House vacancy. The Constitution requires a special elelction be held.

With the election coming up in November, will a special election be held anyway, will the seat be left vacant for a year or will the rules be bent to seat a Dem? I’m not so sure, even in a conservative, upstate district, that NY Democrats would adhere to such a fine point of Constitutionality.
