115 West 129th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

This 23-unit, 6-story New Law tenement building at 115 West 129th Street in Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Donald Notice, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in 2025. Between May and June 2025, there were multiple complaints and emergencies regarding heat and hot water systems affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, with inspectors often unable to complete inspections.

The building has also faced plumbing challenges, including water supply issues between May 29 and June 4, 2025, and has active housing maintenance code violations from November 2024 regarding water leaks and peeling paint in Apartment 3A, as well as broader building issues such as problematic fire-retardant materials in stairwells and ceiling leaks documented in October 2024. Additional concerns include an active ECB violation from April 2024 regarding exterior masonry and entrance stair conditions with a penalty imposed, and various complaints about the building's systems and infrastructure, including vibrations, boiler issues, and elevator service.

While the building has maintained a record of passing rodent inspections in 2023-2025 (with one failure noted in 2023), it has not reported any bedbug infestations in the past four years. The property has shown some degree of responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by several complaints being marked as closed after verification of corrections, though there remain multiple open violations requiring attention.
