134 West 129th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

134 West 129th Street is a 5-story, 11-unit Old Law Tenement building built in 1910 in Harlem, currently owned by Donald Notice. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent complaints from March 2025 including plumbing problems (multiple bathtub/shower issues), sanitary concerns (pests and sewage), heating and hot water problems, and various maintenance issues affecting doors, windows, walls, and flooring.

Notably, there are several open Housing Maintenance Code Violations from 2023 that remain unresolved, particularly concerning Apartment 5B, including issues with mold, water leaks, ventilation, and bathroom fixtures, as well as problems with the building's 5th-story public hall requiring paint and fire retardant material repairs. The building has a concerning history of maintenance issues over recent years.

There were multiple emergency complaints in March 2025 alone, and previous violations regarding heating systems, plumbing, and general maintenance were documented in 2022-2023. The property has faced challenges with its boiler system, receiving two Defective/Inoperative complaints in 2021 and 2022, and has active Environmental Control Board violations related to safety issues including exposed wiring and gas concerns from 2022. While rodent inspections have consistently passed from 2022 through 2025, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, the persistent nature of plumbing, heating, and general maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and responsiveness to repair needs.
