345 East 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
Located in the East Village, 345 East 12th Street is a 6-story, 37-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Brian Garland. The property is experiencing numerous ongoing maintenance issues as of mid-2025, with multiple open complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in May 2025, including water leaks, unsanitary conditions (garbage storage and pest infestations), plumbing problems (toilets and sinks), interior paint/plaster issues, flooring concerns, and problems with window frames. The building has also been cited for safety violations, including an open violation related to fire escape defects and failed inspections in 2024 regarding the fire escape guide rail and drop ladder.
Despite these issues, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations and recently passed rodent inspections, though there have been multiple failed compliance inspections for pests and sanitation in 2024. The property's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, with multiple open violations as of 2024 related to hot water temperature issues in Apartment 11, broken windows in Apartment 26, and various fire safety concerns. Recent inspections from 2025 indicate continued concerns with slow water leaks and sanitation issues.
The building has undergone several inspections related to construction work, with some complaints regarding work without proper permits in early 2025. While the Department of Buildings has issued some violations regarding missing approved plans and exterior wall inspections, most recent complaints have been resolved with no violations warranted upon inspection. The property maintains a zero record of bedbug infestations since 2019, suggesting proper management of this particular issue, though the frequency of recent maintenance complaints indicates ongoing challenges with general building upkeep and habitability issues.
