69 Bay 29th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

69 Bay 29th Street is a six-story, 59-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bath Beach, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Phillip Korb. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with its heating systems and water infrastructure. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a heat/hot water emergency affecting the entire building, marking the fifth such incident since late 2023.

The building has also faced persistent water leak issues, with multiple complaints between October 2023 and May 2024, including four documented slow leaks and two heavy flow incidents. These plumbing problems resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting apartment 3G, which has had multiple documented issues including water damage, defective wooden cabinets, and various repair needs. The property has encountered various safety and maintenance challenges over the past few years, including a notable period in 2021 when multiple boiler-related violations were recorded, though these were subsequently resolved.

Elevator maintenance issues and fire safety concerns were documented in 2021, and there were multiple complaints about after-hours work in 2023-2025, though inspections found no violations in these cases. The building's current status shows no active bedbug infestations for the past two reporting periods (2023-2024), with only three units affected in 2019-2020, which were all eradicated. While many of the historical violations and complaints have been resolved, there are some active DOB violations related to benchmarking and other requirements as of 2022-2023. The property has generally complied with most regulatory requirements, though there have been recurring issues with heating systems and water infrastructure that continue to impact resident comfort.
