99 Bay 29th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

99 Bay 29th Street is a 4-story, 15-unit residential tenement building located in Bath Beach, built in 1928 and currently owned by Tony Safonte. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints between October and December 2020, and a more recent complaint in March 2023, though each time tenants reported that services had been restored by the time inspectors arrived. Most recently, in June 2024, the building underwent inspections that resulted in multiple violations requiring attention to the public hall areas on the 1st, 3rd, and 4th stories, including issues with fire retardant plaster, water leaks, and the need for repairs to defective doors.

The building's maintenance history shows regular reporting and resolution of various issues, with all recent violations being certified as corrected by June 2024. The property has maintained a good track record regarding pest control, with bedbug reports showing zero infested units and no eradication attempts since 2019. However, there appears to be an unresolved Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 regarding an unfiled boiler inspection report from 2017.

The building has experienced access issues during inspections in 2018-2021, and multiple 311 complaints have been filed over the years, though most were resolved promptly. The most recent service request in June 2024 related to door issues, which was classified as an emergency but resulted in no violations being issued. The building's age and repeated maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges, though recent inspections indicate active management response to violations when they occur.
