29 West 119th Street, Manhattan, NY 10026

29 West 119th Street is a 6-story, 24-unit residential building located in Harlem, built in 1909 and currently owned by Harold Cooke. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, with the most recent heavy water leak complaint recorded in August 2024, following a water supply problem in January 2022. Pest-related issues were documented in February 2020, with two separate complaints about unsanitary conditions.

In March 2020, several Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued regarding improper public area signage, including the heating system contact information, building registration number, and smoke detector requirements. These violations were certified as corrected by March 16, 2020. The building underwent several inspections between 2018-2022, with findings including a partially obstructed ground floor lobby in August 2022 that resulted in a $1,250 penalty.

More recent history shows improved conditions, with the building passing multiple rodent inspections between 2018-2025, and a clean record regarding bedbug infestations for the past several years, with all filings showing zero infested units. The Department of Buildings has conducted regular inspections, with the most recent activity in 2023 showing no violations at the time of inspection. The building's maintenance history shows prompt attention to most issues, with the majority of closed complaints receiving inspections that resulted in no violations being found. A re-issue of the bedbug reporting requirement in 2024-2025 indicates continued compliance with pest management protocols, though there were no infestations reported in the previous six years.
