502 East 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
502 East 12th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Peter Herrick and located in New York City's East Village neighborhood. The building has recently experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with a complaint registered in April 2025 that was closed due to lack of access for inspection.
The property has also shown evidence of rodent activity, with complaints in 2024, though subsequent inspections in 2024 and 2025 consistently passed. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with no reported cases from 2019 through 2024.
Two significant inspections in 2020 (gas utility referral) and 2019 (debris concerns) found no violations at the time of inspection. Regular rodent inspections from 2021 to 2025 have all passed, and the building underwent some work in 2018-2019 as evidenced by issued permits, though specific details of this work are not included in the available data. While the building has demonstrated compliance with various health and safety inspections, the recent heat and hot water issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
