509 East 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 12-unit, 5-story residential building at 509 East 12th Street in the East Village, owned by David Dicola, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, though recent inspections indicate improved conditions. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency violation in July 2021 affecting the entire building, and a specific hot water issue in apartment 2A was documented during the same inspection period, though these violations have since been resolved.

The building has had multiple door-related violations in 2024, including issues with self-closing doors in both the laundry room and boiler room, though these violations were closed following a September 2024 certification of correction. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing no violations, continuing a pattern of successful inspections dating back to 2020.

There have been no bedbug infestations reported in any of the five annual bedbug reports submitted between 2019 and 2024, indicating effective pest management practices. While there were some compliance issues noted in 2023-2024 regarding bedbug reporting requirements and a violation related to a missing inspection certificate frame, most recent violations appear to be promptly addressed through official correction processes. The building's overall maintenance record shows a pattern of timely resolution to most violations, particularly those affecting tenant safety and comfort, though occasional lapses in documentation requirements have been noted.
