Augrented Insights Report for 215 East 29th Street

215 East 29th Street is a 20-unit, 5-story residential building constructed in 1936 and owned by David Zahabian, located in the Kips Bay neighborhood. The building has experienced several maintenance challenges in recent years, most notably a sequence of bedbug reporting violations in 2022-2023, with one annual report showing 22 previously infested units (now resolved), and the most recent report for 2023-2024 indicating no current infestations. The property has also faced significant safety concerns, including two Department of Buildings (DOB) violations in 2022: one related to a defective fire escape step on the 4th floor and another concerning a corroded boiler feed water valve, for which the building was penalized $625 each.

In addition, a 2022 complaint regarding boiler issues resulted in an Oath Violation being served. The building's maintenance record shows some positive developments, including recent passing rodent inspections in 2016, 2018, 2020, and most recently in April 2025. The property has demonstrated improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in the most recent cycle (2023-2024), showing no current infestations or eradicated units.

Historical records indicate consistent attention to rodent control, with multiple inspections showing compliance. In 2021, permits were issued for electrical work (job number 123797533), and while there was a violation regarding failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous violation in 2022, this was eventually dismissed after being downgraded. The building's documented history reveals a pattern of addressing maintenance issues, though with some recurring problems, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements and safety concerns as evidenced by the fire escape and boiler-related violations.
