12 White Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

The 6-unit, 6-story commercial building at 12 White Street in Tribeca, owned by Geraldine Biehl, has maintained a relatively clean maintenance record since its construction in 1884. However, the most pressing concern for current residents is an ongoing issue with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all citing failure to file the required annual bedbug report under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations.

The building has passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2018, indicating generally good pest management practices, and there have been no rodent-related issues reported since 2018. The Department of Buildings (DOB) has received two notable complaints in recent years: a potential egress issue in December 2022, which was investigated and found not to warrant any violation, and an illegal advertising complaint in July 2019, which was also closed without violation.

While these complaints were dismissed, they do indicate some historical concerns about building safety and maintenance practices. Additionally, there is one active complaint with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene from September 2021 regarding mobile food vendor placement, though this is not directly related to building conditions or maintenance. The building's comprehensive historical record from 2010-2018 shows consistent compliance with health and safety inspections, though the current bedbug reporting violations suggest an area requiring improved administrative compliance.
