130 29th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The four-story, eight-unit tenement building at 130 29th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Michelle Delauz and constructed in 1924, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning heating and hot water systems. The property underwent multiple heat and hot water-related complaints in March 2024, with at least ten separate incidents recorded through 311 and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints during that month alone, most of which were classified as emergencies.

Similar heating system problems re-emerged in December 2024, with three emergency complaints about the entire building's heat and hot water systems. The building has also experienced some infrastructure challenges, including a locked boiler room access issue documented in both 2022 and 2024, though an inspection in 2023 regarding boiler issues could not gain access.

More recently, there have been concerns about rodent activity, with two rat sighting complaints in early 2025 (January and May), though inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in both instances found no violations. The building's management has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, with no infestations reported in the most recent 2024 filing period, and previous inspections have shown the property to generally meet this requirement. Although most recent inspections for rodent activity (February 2025) and other compliance checks (December 2024) have typically resulted in passing grades, the recurring nature of heating system complaints remains the most significant pattern in the building's recent history, despite the property generally addressing most violations when cited through HPD and other agencies.
