522 West 29th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

522 West 29th Street is an 11-story, 31-unit residential building in Chelsea, completed in 2014 and currently owned by Jose Salcedo-cruz. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent months, with three significant complaints reported in September 2024 involving water leaks (both slow and heavy flow) and an unsanitary pest infestation, all of which resulted in housing maintenance code violations.

Specifically, an open Class C violation was issued for a mouse infestation in apartment 2B, along with an open Class A violation requiring the kitchen ceiling to be repainted. The building's history shows consistent rodent inspection passes from 2017 through 2025, and during the 2024 rodent inspection conducted in September 2024, the building passed. The building has maintained an active track record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020 through 2025, with no infestations reported in any dwelling units during this period.

Historical records show a few notable construction-period violations from 2018 regarding fire safety and worker safety, and there have been three instances of failure to file required reports (FISP Cycle 9B Technical Report in 2023, EER in 2020, and Benchmarking Report in 2019), though these violations were ultimately dismissed. An excessive debris complaint from 2019 was also investigated and found to have no violation warranted at the time of inspection. While the building has had some maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly regarding water and pest problems in 2024, it has generally demonstrated compliance with major housing regulations and passed multiple rodent inspections.
