327 East 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
327 East 12th Street is a 6-story, 22-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Evan Desiderio. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular concern around heating and hot water systems. In October 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water problems affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, though inspections were unable to confirm the conditions. Similar heating issues were reported in February 2022 and August 2021, indicating a persistent system problem.
The building underwent significant work in 2020, leading to multiple violations for unpermitted work, particularly regarding electrical systems and gas line installations. These violations, issued in September 2020, included observations of unauthorized electrical work in multiple apartments and concerns about new gas piping installations in the cellar. More recent issues include unsanitary conditions related to garbage recycling storage reported in 2022 and 2023, though inspections found no violations. A concerning pattern emerged in late 2024 involving building-wide heating issues and plumbing problems, with multiple complaints filed around October 2024, though HPD inspections were unable to complete the necessary evaluations.
The building has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, showing consistent compliance with health standards. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2020, with all annual filings indicating zero affected units. The property experienced some construction-related air quality issues in 2022, with multiple complaints about dust, though these were addressed through advisories to the property management. Recent 311 complaints include a 2025 report of unsanitary pigeon conditions, which was investigated but found to have no violations.
