17 East 129th Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
The three-story, four-unit building at 17 East 129th Street in East Harlem, owned by Hawatha Selby, has a mixed maintenance record since 2018, though recent inspections show improvements in certain areas. The building has consistently passed annual rodent inspections from 2017 through 2025, indicating effective pest control measures in place.
While there were multiple Housing Maintenance Code Violations in 2021-2024 related to failing to file annual bedbug reports, these violations appear to have been resolved, as evidenced by the most recent bedbug report filings showing zero infested or eradicated units for the 2022-2023 period. In late 2022, the building experienced issues with unauthorized plumbing work, including the installation of new water lines and valves for an electric hot water heater, which resulted in Environmental Control Board violations, though these were subsequently resolved with no penalties imposed.
More recently, there was a non-emergency complaint regarding a refrigerator issue in September 2022, which was investigated by HPD and closed in June 2023 with no violations found. The building's most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 was passed, continuing the trend of successful pest management. The property's age (built in 1900) and history of various maintenance issues suggest ongoing maintenance oversight is necessary, but recent rodent control compliance and the resolution of major violations indicate some improvement in building management practices.
