28 West 129th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027
28 West 129th Street is a 3-story, 8-unit apartment building in Harlem, owned by Michael Byrd and constructed in 1910. The property has experienced numerous maintenance issues in 2024, with a particularly high frequency of problems related to electric/gas ranges, with six complaints or violations recorded between August and October 2024.
The building has also faced several concerning safety issues, including non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in September 2024, though HPD confirmed these conditions were subsequently corrected. More recently, in October 2024, there were multiple complaints about electric/gas ranges, with one inspection being unable to access the unit, though no violations were found in most cases. The building has several open violations from 2024 inspections that warrant attention.
These include issues with the self-closing doors at the basement entrance, missing inspection certificates near the mailboxes, and various problems in Basement Apartment 2 including pest infestation, broken ventilation system, leaky faucets, and non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. While most recent rodent inspections have shown "Passed" results, a July 2025 inspection recorded rat activity. The building's maintenance history shows consistent inspections with most issues being addressed, though the pattern of appliance problems and safety violations in 2024 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that are being addressed through the typical complaint and inspection process.
