29 Arden Street, Manhattan, NY 10040

29 Arden Street is a 5-story, 21-unit tenement building located in Inwood, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Josh Wiesenfeld. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over the past year, with multiple complaints filed between October 2024 and February 2025, some of which were not accessible for inspection. There are currently open complaints from March 2025 regarding fire escape safety and bathroom plumbing issues.

The building has faced various maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting Apartment 1, which was cited for pest infestations (mice and roaches), water leaks, electrical issues, and sanitation concerns in September 2024. Recent inspections and service requests indicate ongoing maintenance needs, including a March 2025 emergency complaint about door issues and multiple water leak complaints in 2025. The building also has outstanding violations related to the intercom system and entrance door self-closing mechanisms from 2024.

While the property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections since 2019 except for one in February 2019, it continues to face challenges with various building systems and infrastructure. The Department of Buildings has issued violations in 2023 for failure to file low-pressure inspections, and there was a window A/C unit support issue identified and resolved in September 2023. The building has a clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations in the past five years, and recent housing maintenance code complaints from June 2025 indicate issues with water supply, wall paint, and plaster conditions, all of which were closed.
