Augrented Insights Report for 222 East 12th Street

222 East 12th Street is a 4-story, 18-unit residential building located in the East Village, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Terrence Lowenberg. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water emergency in October 2021 that required HPD intervention, though these services were reportedly restored before inspection.

The property has undergone some controversial modifications, particularly in 2019 when units 4C and 5C were found to have been illegally converted from Class B rooms to full Class A apartments, resulting in multiple violations and ECB citations. Between 2018 and 2020, there were several concerning violations related to fire safety, including fire damage in Apartment 4C and defective fire-retardant materials in public hallways. The building's recent history shows improvements in rodent control, with passed inspections in 2023-2025, though there was a rat activity report in January 2025.

The property has maintained up-to-date bedbug reporting compliance from 2021-2025, with no reported infestations. The most recent Department of Buildings activity includes an active Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspection filed in September 2024, and two closed inspections from March 2023 that found no violations. The building's permit records from 2018-2019 show the issuance of various repair permits, suggesting ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts by management.
