29 Wadsworth Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033

29 Wadsworth Avenue, a 6-story, 42-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927, has experienced persistent heating and hygiene challenges in recent years. Most notably, from late 2024 through early 2025, there were multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with inspections frequently unable to gain access to verify conditions. The building has also documented issues with structural and sanitary conditions, including mold (November 2024), a pest infestation (August 2024), and multiple heating system access problems.

Apartment 4B was specifically cited for multiple violations in late 2024 regarding heat, moisture, and pest issues, while apartment 3D was documented with heating and carbon monoxide detector problems in March 2024. Historical records show the building has faced various infrastructure challenges, including elevator and egress concerns in 2021, though these complaints were ultimately closed without resulting violations. The property had some issues with water supply and heating system accessibility in 2024-2025, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges.

While there was one recorded bedbug incident in 2020-2021, recent bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024 indicate no active infestations. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2015 and 2024, indicating effective pest management in that regard. Two Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in late 2024 regarding heating system access and bathroom water leaks, though these were later certified as corrected.
