145 East 29th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

The 30-unit, 6-story building at 145 East 29th Street in Kips Bay, owned by Chet Dalzell, has several current and historical maintenance issues that warrant attention. As of July 2025, there are multiple open violations from a July 2023 inspection, including failure to post required safety notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide requirements, gas leak procedures, and building registration information.

Additionally, there are open violations related to missing or defective door self-closing mechanisms and a missing smoke detector notice. The building also has active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for multiple years (2019-2022), indicating potential concerns about building safety systems. While there was one rodent-related service request in 2019, the building has consistently passed multiple rodent inspections between 2010 and 2025, most recently in April 2025.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with 2022-2025 reports showing zero infested units, zero units needing eradication, and no re-infestations. Historical violations include a closed violation from July 2023 regarding a defective vestibule door self-closing mechanism and various resolved issues relating to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021-2022. The property, constructed in 1965, has had ongoing maintenance requirements that include proper posting of safety notices and maintaining self-closing doors, though many of these violations predate the most recent inspection cycle.
