Augrented Insights Report for 516 East 12th Street

516 East 12th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by David 516 LLC. The property has experienced recurring rodent infestations, with the most recent complaints in 2025 showing rat activity and follow-up inspections.

The building has documented several health and safety concerns, including multiple unsanitary conditions involving pests (2021-2022), a significant water leak (2023), and various maintenance issues such as defective paint/plaster work (2020). Recent Department of Buildings inspections in 2024 revealed multiple open violations regarding self-closing doors and safety systems, particularly in apartments 5 and 13, with some violations classified as "Active" related to illegal transient use, fire alarm systems, required means of egress, and lack of automatic sprinklers in first-floor unit #2. The building has a history of illegal occupancy issues, with violations in 2020 regarding unauthorized conversions of cellar space into additional living units, and illegal hotel operation complaints in 2023-2025.

Despite these challenges, the building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 to 2024 shows no documented infestations, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. Recent rodent control efforts have included bait application as of early 2024, though inspections continue to show rat activity. The property has also faced compliance issues with various housing maintenance codes, including violations for defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and compromised fire escape access.
