229 East 29th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
229 East 29th Street is a 6-story, 113-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1940, currently owned by Carmencita Paruli. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues over the past three years, with seven emergency complaints filed between late 2022 and March 2025, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments. While some complaints were resolved promptly, access issues often hindered proper inspections.
The building has also faced ongoing maintenance challenges, including active violations regarding its boiler system and safety equipment from 2022, with issues related to combustion air fan interlocking, corrosion, and improper hardware on interior staircase doors. Multiple open violations regarding energy efficiency score display and benchmarking reporting requirements have been documented, dating as far back as 2019. The property has a documented history of pest control issues, particularly in 2021, when three separate complaints were filed regarding rodent problems in Apartment 4B, along with related violations for water leaks and ceiling damage.
While recent rodent inspections in 2025 show compliance, earlier inspections in 2020-2021 involved repeated bait application. The building's infrastructure and safety features have also been a concern, with violations related to emergency lighting, egress issues, and illegal hotel room complaints between 2019-2023. Despite these challenges, some improvements have been noted, including recent successful rodent inspections in 2025. The property has undergone various inspections and received both active and resolved violations from the Department of Buildings as well as the Environmental Control Board, indicating ongoing monitoring of its maintenance and safety compliance.
