419 West 129th Street, Manhattan, NY 10027

As of July 2025, 419 West 129th Street is a 6-story, 48-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Sal Radoncic. The building has experienced multiple significant maintenance issues and violations in recent years. Most notably, between December 2024 and March 2025, there were multiple heating and hot water complaints, including an emergency heat/hot water issue in March 2025, and violations related to paint/plaster, appliances, and plumbing in February 2025. Apartment 67 was found to have a mouse infestation in December 2024, while Apartment 38 had issues with both roach infestation and lead paint hazards in October 2024.

The building has also faced rodent control challenges, with repeated rat activity reported through multiple inspections in 2024, though a rodent inspection in January 2025 passed. Other notable issues include a significant number of open violations related to unsanitary garbage/recycling storage reported in February 2025, missing signage, and multiple HPD violations from February 2025. The Department of Buildings has documented several violations, including an illegal construction modification in Apartment 46 in February 2024 that created an unauthorized third bedroom. The building's elevator system has also been the subject of complaints, with violations noted for various mechanical issues in 2019.

There is some positive development, as rodent control measures have been implemented with bait applications noted throughout 2023 and 2024, and the most recent rodent inspection in January 2025 passed. The building's history shows a pattern of persistent maintenance issues, particularly concerning heating systems, pest control, and infrastructure maintenance. While some violations have been addressed and closed, others, particularly those related to lead paint and plumbing systems, remain open or were only recently certified as corrected. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history, though most recent filings indicate a single unit (Apt 67) was treated in late 2024.
