213 East 29th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

213 East 29th Street is a 4-story, 5-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Kips Bay, owned by Manjula Mukhopadhyay and dating back to 1930. The building recently experienced an unsanitary condition incident in March 2024 involving pests, which resulted in violations including a mouse infestation in apartment 3 on the second story and issues with self-closing doors at the first-story vestibule.

These violations were still open as of April 2024, though the building passed a rodent inspection in April 2025. The property has a history of maintaining generally good rodent control, with consistent passing grades on rodent inspections from 2010 through 2025, showing regular inspections every few years.

The building has also been subject to various maintenance requirements over the years, including a lighting violation near the front entranceway in 2010, which was certifiable as fixed by December 2023. Notably, there have been no documented bedbug infestations throughout the building's recent history, with all annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2025 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. While there was a significant pest issue in 2024 that impacted apartment 3, the absence of bedbugs and the building's consistent passing rodent inspections suggest that management has generally maintained appropriate pest control measures, though the recent violations indicate some areas may require closer attention, particularly regarding timely response to pest-related issues.
