14 East 129th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035

This three-story, three-unit building at 14 East 129th Street in East Harlem, owned by Buhm Hong, was constructed in 1890 and has undergone several significant events, with the most recent being two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023 and 2024 related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement. The building experienced considerable construction activity between 2018-2021, with multiple permits issued during this period, including several plumbing and alteration permits.

The property faced several serious construction safety compliance issues in 2019-2021, including multiple violations for inadequate worker protection, improper storage of materials, failure to maintain safety records, and work not conforming to approved documents, with one violation resulting in a $2,530 penalty. The building's history shows a pattern of construction-related complaints and violations, particularly during 2019 when multiple ECB violations were issued against contractor JTJ STUDIO CORP for various safety and compliance issues.

While most of these violations were eventually resolved, they indicate a period of significant construction activity with associated safety concerns. Importantly, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025, with all recent inspections showing compliance. The property currently has no outstanding violations from 2022 to the present, and recent rodent inspections in July 2025 and January 2025 were passed, suggesting improved maintenance standards in recent years.
