347 West 29th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001
The 15-unit, 4-story brick building at 347 West 29th Street in Chelsea, owned by Jacob Avid, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past five years. Of particular concern is the building's ongoing rodent problem, with multiple inspections between 2020 and 2024 revealing consistent rat activity, though the most recent inspection in October 2024 passed.
The building, which dates back to 1852, has faced recurring heating and hot water system failures, with multiple emergency complaints in 2020 and 2021 indicating these issues affected different apartments and the entire building. Other notable issues include plumbing problems (affecting sinks and radiators), ceiling plaster/paint concerns, and water-related problems including leaks and mold (inspected in November 2020). More recent developments include an active DOB violation from April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, and the building's rodent inspection records indicate a mix of rat activity and bait application between 2020 and 2022, with the most recent final inspection passing in 2024.
The property has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations from 2020 through 2024, with annual reporting showing no affected units. While several housing maintenance code violations were identified in 2018 regarding building safety signage and storage conditions in the basement, these appear to have been addressed, as no recent violations of this nature are on record. The building underwent various permit activity from 2019 to 2020, primarily related to emergency work, though specific details of the work performed are not detailed in the available records.
