427 East 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

427 East 12th Street is a 6-story, 10-unit Class A residential building located in the East Village, owned by Jiajia Zhu and constructed in 2008. The property has experienced recurring issues with pest management compliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting, with open violations documented in April 2024, March 2023, March 2022, and April 2021, all relating to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as per Housing Maintenance Code requirements.

Despite these violations, the building's official bedbug report from March 2019 covering the period from November 2017 to November 2018 indicated no infested units or instances of infestation or re-infestation. The building has faced significant challenges with rodent activity in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025.

The most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 resulted in a "Passed" designation, though this followed a series of concerning findings including recorded rat activity in January and April 2025, and multiple bait applications between October and December 2024. Prior inspections from 2023 also indicated successful compliance on two occasions, but the pattern of rodent-related issues suggests an ongoing pest management challenge. While the building is relatively new and has met all basic compliance requirements during most inspections, the persistent bedbug reporting violations and recent rodent activity create notable concerns about the property's maintenance and pest control protocols.
