301 West 29th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

The 4-story, 7-unit Old Law Tenement building at 301 West 29th Street in Chelsea, currently owned by 301 West LLC and dating back to 1900, has experienced recurring rodent issues over the past few years. Most recently, in 2025, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) conducted inspections revealing no violations in January, following a pattern of inspections throughout 2023-2024 that initially showed rat activity before transitioning to bait application and ultimately passing inspections.

The building maintains a clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations in the past five years according to mandatory bedbug reporting requirements. The property has faced several maintenance challenges, particularly in 2018 when violations were documented in Apartment 5 regarding safety features such as carbon monoxide detectors and fire escape access, both of which were later resolved. In 2020, issues were noted with sidewalk shed compliance, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to safety equipment and information panels, though these were subsequently resolved with penalties.

A cluster of rodent-related service requests between 2022-2023 prompted inspections which uncovered violations requiring follow-up actions. More recently, in 2025, the building successfully passed inspections focusing on rodent control, suggesting improvements in pest management practices. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved violations and periodic inspections, with the most significant recent focus being on rodent management and safety compliance.
