220 East 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

220 East 12th Street is a four-story, eight-unit residential building located in Manhattan's East Village, built in 1920 and currently owned by Ginger Bramson. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being a boiler violation in October 2020 that resulted in an ECB violation for lack of proper boiler room access signage and served an oath violation.

Prior to this, in 2018, there was a plumbing-related incident that initially resulted in a Stop Work Order, though this was later fully rescinded. The property has had consistent rodent inspections since 2022, with the most recent results showing some rat activity in March 2025, though it passed the July 2025 inspection.

While a rat sighting was reported in May 2021, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations at that time. Remarkably, the building has maintained an impressive record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building's rodent inspection history shows a mix of passed inspections and some instances of rat activity, with four out of the last five inspections passing as of July 2025, though there was one failed inspection in early 2025 for "Other Reasons." While the building has had some notable maintenance issues, particularly with the boiler system in 2020, the property has generally maintained compliance with health and safety regulations, as evidenced by most recent inspections showing successful outcomes, though the recent rodent activity indicates ongoing challenges.
