150 29th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The 4-story, 8-unit tenement building at 150 29th Street in Sunset Park, constructed in 1924 and currently owned by Andreas Steiner, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems, with two emergency complaints logged in 2020 (January and October) when these essential services failed, though they were reportedly restored before further inspections.

The building has faced ongoing sanitary challenges, evidenced by multiple 311 complaints regarding garbage/recycling storage and pest issues, with the most recent unsanitary condition complaint recorded in June 2023. A concerning pattern of rodent activity has been documented between 2022 and 2025, with regular inspections showing rat activity and bait applications continuing through 2025. The property had several notable violations in 2022, including defective paving in the rear yard, issues with self-closing doors in public areas, and improper door security measures, though all were subsequently addressed and closed.

There were also multiple infrastructure maintenance concerns in October 2018, including problems with stairs, flooring, the building intercom system, and garbage storage, although inspectors were unable to gain access to the premises for verification at that time. Recent construction activity at the property has been documented with new permits issued in late 2024 for both plumbing and electrical work (job number 302179363). While the building has maintained a zero tolerance for bedbugs as evidenced by consistent reporting from 2021 through 2024 (with no infested units reported in any of the filings), the persistent rodent issues and recurring heating system complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance.
