129 Wadsworth Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033
129 Wadsworth Avenue is a 6-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently managed by owner John Apostolos, with 28 residential units. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably ongoing heat and hot water system problems that affected the entire building in 2023-2024, along with electrical lighting failures and intercom system malfunctions.
As of September 2024, there is an active complaint regarding a bee/wasp infestation. The building has also dealt with elevator service issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints between 2020 and 2024, and recent safety concerns regarding self-closing doors and window maintenance in common areas. Recent inspections and complaints reveal several concerning trends: there were notable issues with fire safety and building maintenance, including fire damage reported in apartments 53 and 63 during a 2024 inspection, and ongoing challenges with rodent activity, as indicated by multiple baiting operations and rat activity notices in 2023-2024.
The Department of Buildings has recorded various violations, including a sidewalk shed violation in 2024 with a substantial penalty, though many previous violations from 2018-2023 have been resolved or dismissed. The building's bedbug history shows occasional infestations between 2019 and 2020, but recent reports (2021-2024) indicate no current infestations. The property management has demonstrated some responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by the closure of multiple complaints through HPD inspections, though systemic problems such as heat/water outages and elevator service disruptions remain recurring issues.
