Augrented Insights Report for 12 1st Avenue

The five-story, 16-unit tenement building at 12 1st Avenue in the East Village, owned by First And First Realty Corp, has experienced several significant issues over the past few years, with the most recent complaints focusing on food establishment violations in 2024 related to rodent/insect problems and permits. The building has a documented history of pest control challenges, particularly with rodent activity, though recent inspections in 2025 have shown "Passed" status. Between 2022-2024, there were multiple complaints about food establishment matters and a December 2022 heat/hot water issue that was resolved.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023 highlight problems with building entrance door maintenance, including both a general door issue and specific problems with self-closing doors at the front entrance and boiler room, though one related violation was closed. The building's environmental history includes a 2020 violation regarding a damaged chimney stack at the roof level, for which fines were imposed but later resolved. While there were concerns about bedbug reporting requirements in 2021-2022, recent filings through 2025 show no infested units or related issues.

The property has undergone several construction-related activities from 2018-2020, as evidenced by multiple permits issued for various work types, including exterior work and plumbing. Regular rodent inspections from November 2022 to 2025 show a pattern of rat activity, with the most recent inspections indicating improved conditions. The building's response to health and safety violations has generally resulted in prompt resolutions, but the recurring nature of certain issues, particularly door maintenance and pest control, is notable.
