138 29th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The four-story New Law Tenement building at 138 29th Street in Sunset Park, managed by One Conture Mgt Corp., has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in early 2025, there was a plumbing complaint regarding a radiator that HPD inspectors were unable to access for inspection, and rodent activity was confirmed during inspections in March and April 2025. The building has a concerning history of utility-related problems, with violations in apartment 3R and 4R for gas supply issues documented in 2018, as well as a February 2019 ceiling paint/plaster complaint.

Multiple violations were issued in September 2018, including one for an electric/gas range appliance issue, though the specific nature of these violations wasn’t detailed in the records. Safety concerns were also present in January 2018, with open violations for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 3R, and issues with the heating system's cellar door being locked. The building's maintenance history shows some recurring patterns, including annual bedbug report violations from 2021-2024, though recent filings indicate no infested units have been reported in the past several years.

The building has had periodic inspections showing rat activity, with the most recent findings in early 2025. While there have been multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations, many of these issues appear to have been resolved through HPD inspections, though access challenges have limited some inspections. The building initially demonstrated some permit-related activity in 2020, though this appears to have been resolved without significant findings. The consistent pattern of maintenance complaints, particularly regarding utilities and safety systems, suggests ongoing attention is required to maintain building systems and habitability standards, though recent bedbug reports indicate effective pest management in this regard.
