407 East 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
407 East 12th Street is a 6-story, 27-unit converted old law tenement building located in the East Village, built in 1900 and currently owned by Samantha Rothberg. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, most notably with its elevator system, which has active violations from September 2019 regarding failure to correct defects from a 2017 inspection. There have also been recurring issues with rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2021 and 2025 showing rat activity or failed inspections, though recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 have passed.
The building has had consistent bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, with no infested units reported in the last four annual filings. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2024 indicate repeated non-compliance with filing annual bedbug reports, though these violations are now marked as closed. The property has undergone various inspections and service requests, including a 2022 ceiling paint/plaster complaint that resulted in no violations being issued.
The building's Department of Buildings records show an active violation from 2021 regarding failure to display energy efficiency scores, which remains unresolved as of the most recent data. A permit was issued in August 2020 under job number 140928085, though the specific purpose is not detailed in the available data. Despite the building's age and some ongoing maintenance issues, recent inspections have shown improvement in both rodent control and bedbug management, with no current infestations reported.
