505 East 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The four-story, three-unit building at 505 East 12th Street in the East Village, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Viktor Ivezaj, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. In early 2022, there was a concerning pattern of heat and water issues, including multiple complaints regarding heat/hot water for the entire building and problems with radiator plumbing. The building experienced various maintenance violations in February 2022 across different units, including concerns about hot water temperatures exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit, defective self-closing doors, radiator issues, and various safety concerns.

Specifically, violations were documented in Apartments 1 and 2 regarding doors, radiators, and the need for proper smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The property has undergone multiple food establishment-related inspections in 2020, suggesting prior usage or concerns related to commercial activity, with several complaints about facility construction. There were also environmental control board violations in 2020 related to vent/exhaust issues, unpermitted equipment installation, and occupancy concerns, though these were subsequently resolved.

More recent records indicate improved conditions, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past several years (most recent filings confirming zero cases through 2025), and all recent rodent inspections (2022-2025) have passed. The building's most recent maintenance filings have shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, though there was a significant number of violations related to building safety systems (doors, detectors, etc.) in 2022 that appear to have required substantial remediation efforts, as indicated by subsequent certified dates for violation correction. The property has maintained valid permits issued in 2018 for electrical work, suggesting some level of ongoing maintenance and compliance with regulatory requirements.
