116 West 129th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

116 West 129th Street is a 33-unit, 6-story old law tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Mlg 904developmentllc. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues, with nine emergency complaints regarding these services reported between January 2024 and early 2025, including multiple instances of building-wide problems. Other recent maintenance issues include a door problem in October 2023, a refrigerator issue in November 2023, and an intercom system problem in February 2024, though many of these were resolved promptly, often within days.

The building has undergone several inspections and repairs over recent years, with some notable findings including a 2023 violation for broken ceramic floor tiles in Apartment 1B, and multiple violations in 2022 related to the fifth-floor public hall's ceiling and walls requiring painting and repair of fire-retardant materials. There were also three complaints about building shaking/vibration in early 2024, though no violations were found during inspections. Fortunately, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since at least 2020, with all recent reports showing zero infested units.

Regular rodent inspections have generally been passed, though one failed inspection was recorded in April 2023. The property has had several permits issued for various work, including electrical and plumbing work in 2018-2021. Earlier complaints from 2018-2020 regarding illegal after-hours work, safety net issues, boiler problems, and certificate of occupancy concerns were all investigated and no violations were warranted at the time of inspection. Importantly, all bedbug and pest control reports from 2018 to 2025 show zero infestation cases, suggesting effective management of these issues.
