529 West 29th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

The 14-story, 139-unit building at 529 West 29th Street in Chelsea, owned by Tazjuan Starr and completed in 2013, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evidenced by multiple complaints in January 2025, with one emergency complaint still open at the time of reporting. The property has also faced ongoing window-related problems, with open complaints regarding window frames and panes from January 2025. In late 2023, several concerning issues were identified, including unsanitary conditions related to mold, sewage, flooring, wall paint, and intercom systems, though most of these complaints were closed by January 2024 with no violations found during inspections.

The building's maintenance history shows periodic bedbug infestations, with the most recent reporting in mid-2025 indicating one infested unit, while previous years had zero infestations except for 2018-2019 when six units were affected. Elevator safety was a notable concern in 2018 with a penalty imposed for tampering with a door zone restrictor, though this was resolved. The property has had multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations over the years, including two open violations from September 2023 related to a defective mechanical air vent and mold in apartment 4F.

Building systems have been the subject of various complaints and inspections, including issues with the intercom system, roof maintenance, and heating systems. While the building has generally passed rodent inspections since 2018, it faced concerns about illegal hotel rooms, work without permits, and ventilation issues between 2019 and 2021, though most complaints were either resolved or resulted in no violations being found. The building has demonstrated some challenges with compliance regarding energy efficiency reporting, with violations dismissed in 2021 and 2022 for failure to submit required documentation.
