329 West 35th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

The 5-story, 15-unit Old Law Tenement building at 329 West 35th Street in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Jenny Martinovic, has a notable history of pest-related issues over the past decade. Most recently, in October 2024, the building passed a rodent inspection, continuing a pattern of generally successful pest control efforts following some earlier challenges. A significant cluster of violations related to pest management occurred in 2021-2022, including a March 2021 violation for a cockroach infestation in apartment 4W, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023 regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows only one documented infestation in 2019 (with successful eradication), and since then, all subsequent annual reports between 2020-2024 have recorded zero infested units. The property has undergone regular safety inspections and addressed various maintenance issues, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code inspections between 2021-2023. While there was an electrical wiring complaint in August 2024, the investigation found no violations.

The building's Department of Buildings records show consistent compliance with safety inspections, with the most recent tenant safety inspection in August 2023 confirming compliance. Historical records indicate a mix of inspection results, with most rodent inspections showing no activity (though there were some noted rat activity in 2012 and 2015). Despite the building's age (constructed in 1920), it has generally maintained compliance with city regulations, though the pattern of pest-related complaints and violations suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining a pest-free environment.
