Augrented Insights Report for 217 East 29th Street

The 21-unit, 5-story old law tenement at 217 East 29th Street, owned by Tomas Aponte, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over recent years, most notably a heating problem reported in February 2024 that could not be inspected by HPD due to access issues. The building has faced recurring pest issues, particularly in September 2021 when multiple complaints emerged about unsanitary conditions and pests, though one of these inspections found no violations.

Rodent inspections present a mixed picture; while the most recent inspection in April 2025 passed, there was a failure recorded in December 2021, and between 2016 and 2018, several inspections indicated rodent activity. The building's maintenance history reveals various code violations that were eventually resolved, including a 2018 violation for an uncapped radiator pipe in a first-story public hall, and multiple issues related to Apartment 23's safety features such as smoke detectors and door closings.

Earlier grievances include ventilation problems noted by the Department of Health in March 2020, and multiple food establishment grading issues between February and July 2020, all of which were administratively closed after addressing the concerns. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past seven years (2018-2025) based on the annual reporting requirements.
