507 East 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

507 East 12th Street is a 5-story, 13-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the East Village, owned by Kosha Diaz and constructed in 1900. The property has experienced several notable issues over the past five years, with the most significant recurring concern being the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports, resulting in multiple open violations from 2021 to 2024.

The building underwent active monitoring for bedbug infestations, though recent reports from 2024 and 2023 show zero infested units. Safety concerns have been documented through various complaints and violations, including a 2019 issue with inadequate sprinkler systems that resulted in a $2,500 penalty (now resolved), and a 2020 Work Without a Permit complaint that required multiple inspection attempts to gain access.

The building's management has consistently addressed rodent control, passing all rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025. While there have been several construction-related permits issued between 2019-2020, including multiple work types, some associated violations were ultimately dismissed, including a 2020 Stop Work Order and another for failure to certify correction of a hazardous violation. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to rodent control and pest management, but the recurring bedbug report violations and sprinkler system issues suggest areas requiring ongoing attention.
