412 West 129th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

The 30-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement at 412 West 129th Street in Harlem, built in 1910 and currently owned by Kobi Zamir, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns revolving around moisture and sanitation. Most notably, there have been multiple reports of mold infestations in late 2024, with active violations related to mold abatement in Apartment 11 that remains open as of 2024-11-06.

The building has also faced challenges with basic services, including two separate complaints about lack of heat/hot water affecting the entire building in late 2023 and early 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. Additional maintenance issues have included plumbing problems (water supply and toilet), flooring concerns, and an infestation of pests in late 2022, with multiple pest-related service requests. The building's history also reveals some structural and safety-related concerns, with violations recorded in 2023-05 regarding missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 14.

Multiple Department of Buildings violations remain active, including several from 2021-2020 related to failure to comply with commission orders and work performed without proper permits, with associated penalties totaling over $37,500. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections throughout 2023-2025, with recent inspections passing, though there was some evidence of rat activity noted in March 2023. While the building has had bedbug infestations in previous years (most recently affecting two units in 2022-2023), the most recent report for the period 2023-2024 shows no current infestations.
