46 East 129th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
The 10-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement at 46 East 129th Street in East Harlem, owned by Malcolm Punter and constructed in 1910, has experienced recurring issues with heat and rodent problems in recent years. Most notably, there have been two recent heat/hot water emergencies in 2025 (June) and 2024 (December) affecting different areas of the building, with HPD unable to access units during one inspection.
The building has also faced persistent rodent challenges, with multiple inspections showing rat activity in 2024 and 2025, though there were some passed inspections in January 2024. Between 2023 and 2024, there were several bedbug-related violations, though the most recent bedbug reports from 2021-2022 indicate no active infestations. Apartment 3E has had specific maintenance issues documented in late 2023, including a roach infestation and floor repair needs, while entrance door issues were noted for apartments 1E and 1W in 2019.
The building's history includes several Department of Buildings complaints in 2020 regarding certificate of occupancy and construction concerns, though inspections found no violations at those times. The property has undergone multiple rodent baiting treatments in 2023, suggesting ongoing efforts to address vermin issues. The management has maintained annual bedbug reporting compliance, with no reported infestations in the most recent filings between 2020 and 2021.
