129 Perry Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

129 Perry Street is a 6-story, 24-unit old law tenement building located in the West Village and owned by Martin Blum. The building, constructed in 1902, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years.

Notably, in February 2020, there were multiple concurrent housing maintenance complaints including water leaks, unsanitary mold conditions, plumbing problems, and electrical issues, all of which were logged and subsequently closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. In 2019, the building received an ECB violation related to improper storage of ice melting materials in the electrical meter room, resulting in a $1,250 penalty that has since been resolved. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in September 2024 and August 2024 resulting in "Failed for Other Reasons" designations, following two consecutive years of "Passed" results.

Remarkably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building over the past eight years, with all annual reports showing zero infested or eradicated units. A notable safety-related violation from 2018 required the building to post gas leak procedures in a common area, though this violation was certified as corrected in April 2018. The building's maintenance history indicates ongoing challenges with various systems, particularly plumbing, electrical, and pest control, with the most recent records suggesting continuing concerns with rodent management.
