12 Warren Street, Manhattan, NY 10007

12 Warren Street is a 12-story, 13-unit residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Henrietta Jones. The Tribeca property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing current concerns centered around water damage. Most notably, in July 2024, multiple violations were documented in the THS apartment, including water leaks affecting ceilings and walls in multiple rooms, along with problems requiring repairs to defective plastered surfaces.

This followed a June 2024 emergency water leak complaint that resulted in HPD violations, indicating an ongoing water-related maintenance challenge. The building has also faced recurring issues with compliance and maintenance requirements, as evidenced by multiple open violations related to failure to file required inspection reports for external low pressure systems (issued June 2023), and several outstanding benchmarking violations dating back to 2019-2020. The property's maintenance history includes previous heating issues (January 2022) and plumbing problems (December 2018), though these appear to be resolved.

While the building has maintained good records in terms of pest control, with zero reported bedbug infestations since 2022 and consistent passing results in rodent inspections, the current focus should be on the water-related violations and the building's outstanding compliance records. Recent inspections have revealed various other issues requiring attention, including problems with self-closing doors in the THS apartment. The building has demonstrated some challenges in maintaining timely compliance with recurring inspection requirements, as evidenced by multiple violations for failure to file various mandatory reports, though it's worth noting that a FISP violation from 2022 was dismissed. The combination of recent water-related violations and ongoing compliance issues suggests a property requiring improved maintenance oversight.
