212 Forsyth Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
212 Forsyth Street is a 5-story, 6-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, built in 1900 and currently owned by Herman Hewitt. The building has a notable pattern of recurring housing maintenance code violations regarding annual bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2023, though the most recent bedbug report for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 shows no infested units or eradications.
Of greater concern are three active Department of Buildings violations as of June 2023, related to the failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2018, 2019, and 2020. On a positive note, the building has maintained an excellent record in rodent inspections, passing all ten consecutive annual inspections from 2019 through 2025.
The most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 continued this trend of compliance, suggesting effective pest management in this area. While the building has had multiple bedbug reporting violations in the past, the current reports indicate successful management of these pests, as no units have been found to be infested or requiring eradication in recent years.
