305 East 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

The 3-story, 4-unit residential building at 305 East 12th Street in the East Village, owned by Thora Dass Gonzalez, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple reports of pest-related problems, with eight separate complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests recorded between May 2023 and December 2024, including recent complaints in December 2024 and September 2023.

The building has also faced water-related issues, with two heavy flow water leak complaints in September 2023, one of which remains open as of 2024, though no violations were issued upon inspection. A cluster of heat and hot water complaints was recorded in March-April 2023, affecting the entire building, though tenants reported that the issues were resolved. The property currently has an open class A violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, while a September 2023 inspection resulted in a class C violation for defective self-closing doors at the building entrance.

Previous violations from 2022 included issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 1, a failed bathroom ventilation system in apartment 2, and a requirement to repaint the cornice at the south facade. On a more positive note, the building has maintained passing results in rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing no rat activity, though an initial January 2023 inspection did indicate rat activity. Bedbug reporting records from 2022-2023 show no reported infestations during the specified periods.
