43 West 129th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The six-story, 24-unit tenement building at 43 West 129th Street in Harlem, owned by Andrew Kleiman and constructed in 1910, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple water-related issues, with the most recent complaints in June 2025 involving heavy water flow, for which violations were issued.

The building has also faced significant problems with heat and hot water, particularly during a documented incident in November 2022, though access restrictions limited inspection responses. Recent maintenance issues include opened violations from August 2024 in Unit 2, requiring repairs to various ceiling and wall surfaces, a broken light fixture, and door latch concerns. The property has a documented history of pest-related challenges, with recent unsanitary conditions reported in 2024 (pests), and a recurring pattern of similar issues between 2020-2023, though regular rodent inspections have consistently passed.

The building has shown some history of infrastructure challenges, including a power outage in January 2021 and multiple heat/hot water complaints in 2019, though responses indicate conditions were generally corrected or resolved. While there have been periodic bedbug infestations documented through 2024, records show proper eradication efforts were undertaken each time. The Department of Buildings records from 2018 show permit activity for plumbing and electrical work, suggesting ongoing infrastructure maintenance.
