504 East 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
The 6-story, 28-unit tenement at 504 East 12th Street, built in 1930 and currently owned by Peter Tran, has experienced persistent maintenance issues throughout 2025. The building has been particularly affected by plumbing problems, with multiple water supply complaints filed through 311 and HPD, including instances in April and May 2025 where inspectors were unable to complete their inspections. Heat and hot water complaints have also been recurring, with reports in April 2025 indicating access problems for inspections.
The property has faced several violations regarding building maintenance, with open issues as of late 2024-2025 including problems with the self-closing doors at the bulkhead and damage to the metal cornice at the building front. Recent inspections in June 2025 found rat activity, continuing a concerning pattern of rodent issues. The building's condition has been the subject of multiple Department of Buildings complaints, with reports of structural concerns and work without permits.
Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 documented issues with the facade cornice, ornamental stone, and fire escape storage, though most previous violations have been resolved. The property has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent years, with no reported infestations from 2020 through the present. Despite the ongoing maintenance challenges, recent inspections for rodent activity have generally passed, indicating some level of pest control compliance, though this has not eliminated all rodent sightings.
