2955 West 29 Street
Composite verdict
This 178-unit elevator building at 2955 West 29 Street has 44 open HPD violations — including 11 Class C (immediately hazardous) and 17 Class B (hazardous) — which is a serious red flag for a building of this size. The bedbug risk is rated high, with 3 infested units reported in the last 3 years. Noise is a documented concern: 158 noise-related 311 calls in the past 12 months (109 residential, 46 street/sidewalk), and 39 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints appear in the broader 311 data. The building is not registered as rent-stabilized, so no tenant protections apply on that front.

- HPD shows 11 Class C (immediately hazardous) and 17 Class B (hazardous) open violations across the building — what is OCEANGATE L.P.'s current plan to remediate these, and can you provide a written timeline before lease signing?
- 311 records show 39 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints in the past 12 months — how many units were affected, and has the boiler or heating system been serviced or replaced recently given the building was built in 1975?
- Bedbug filings show 3 infested units in the last 3 years and a 'high' risk rating — what is the building's current pest-control protocol, how frequently are treatments done, and has the specific unit I'm considering ever been treated?
- 311 data shows 109 residential noise complaints and 46 street/sidewalk noise complaints in the past 12 months — what soundproofing or noise mitigation exists between units, and what floor is the available apartment on?
- 82 'UNSANITARY CONDITION' 311 complaints were filed in the area — can you clarify whether any of these originated from within the building, and what the current trash and sanitation management looks like for a 178-unit property?
- The building is not registered as rent-stabilized — can you confirm in writing what the lease renewal terms are, including any caps on rent increases, and what notice period applies if the landlord chooses not to renew?
- Inspect the hallways, elevator cab, and lobby for visible signs of deferred maintenance — peeling paint, water stains, damaged plaster — consistent with the open HPD violations, including the most recent Class A violation citing broken plastered surfaces.
- Check the building's common trash areas and basement/service areas for cleanliness and evidence of pests (droppings, traps, exterminator notices), given the high bedbug risk rating and 82 unsanitary condition complaints.
- Visit at different times of day if possible, and pay attention to noise levels both inside the building (between floors and units) and from the street, given 158 noise-related 311 calls logged in the past 12 months.
