419 East 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The building at 419 East 12th Street in the East Village, owned by Herman Hewitt, is a 6-story, 11-unit old law tenement constructed in 1900. The property has maintained a relatively good compliance record over recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years according to consistent bedbug reporting filings, and has passed all rodent inspections conducted since 2020, including the most recent one in April 2025. A recent violation was issued in April 2024 regarding the annual bedbug report filing, though this is noted as "closed" in the records.

The building has experienced some maintenance issues over the past several years, primarily between 2020 and 2022. Multiple complaints and corresponding HPD inspections were conducted in late 2021 related to paint and plaster work on walls and ceilings, though no violations were ultimately issued. In 2022, there was a flooring/stairs complaint that was also closed without violations.

A pest-related complaint was filed and closed in July 2020, and more recently, in May 2024, there was a complaint regarding a daycare facility that was investigated and closed by the DOHMH. Notably, all these complaints were handled through proper channels and were resolved, demonstrating a response to maintenance issues as they arose. The building's overall record suggests regular maintenance and prompt attention to complaints, with particular attention to pest control as evidenced by the annual bedbug reporting and consistent rodent inspection pass results.
