39 West 129th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

39 West 129th Street is a 6-story, 24-unit New Law Tenement building in Harlem, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Andrew Kleiman. The building has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a water leak in Apartment 5C that generated both HPD complaints and violations in late 2023, requiring repairs to both the source of the leak and the affected ceiling surfaces.

Other recent maintenance concerns include a power outage in June 2023, though no violations were issued for this incident. The building has faced recurring pest issues, with documented mouse infestations in Apartments 5C (2023) and 1C (2022), though pest control inspections have consistently passed since 2019, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 also passing. Previous violations have included safety concerns in Apartment 2B in March 2022, where defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were identified and required replacement.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units, and the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2019, indicating effective pest management. While recent water leak issues and past safety concerns (smoke/carbon monoxide detectors) suggest some maintenance challenges, the building's overall historical compliance with pest control measures and recent inspections indicates active management of its upkeep. The building's age and history as a New Law Tenement are notable, though many of the listed violations have been promptly addressed and closed, with a particular emphasis on timely responses to safety-related issues.
