29 St Marks Place, Manhattan, NY 10003
The four-story tenement building at 29 St. Marks Place, owned by Eric Margules, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, from mid-2023 through 2024, there were recurring problems with water leaks, flooring issues, and appliance malfunctions. Open violations as of 2025 include concerns about an uneven floor at the fourth story, various maintenance issues in apartment 3B (including water leak problems and damage to bathroom tiles), and problems with the building's roof and public hall areas.
The property underwent multiple tenant safety inspections in late 2024, resulting in stop work orders and structural monitoring concerns. Recent regulatory attention has focused on potential structural issues, with three active Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violations from late 2024 related to construction work in apartment 2B, fire safety compliance, and temporary shoring concerns between floors. The building has maintained a mostly clean record regarding bedbugs and rodent activity, with no reported infestations in the past three years and mostly passing rodent inspections, though there was one initial rodent inspection showing rat activity in August 2023. The property has multiple open violations related to failure to file mandatory external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2022 and an annual boiler inspection from 2017, which remain active as of 2025.
The most recent complaint, from December 2024, involves ongoing issues with an electric/gas range that remains open as of this report date. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly in 2023, with multiple HPD violations related to flooring problems and water leaks. While some issues have been resolved, others remain open and may impact resident comfort and safety. The property has undergone numerous inspections and generated multiple complaints over the past few years, indicating significant regulatory scrutiny and ongoing maintenance challenges.
