224 East 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

224 East 12th Street is a 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in New York City's East Village neighborhood, owned by Loren Hochman and constructed in 1910. The building has recently faced some notable maintenance challenges, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance. Open violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports are currently noted for 2023 and 2024, though the 2022 review shows these violations were closed.

Interestingly, the bedbug reporting filing from 2022 shows zero instances of infestation during the 2020-2021 period. While there's one active DOB violation from July 2021 with no disposition recorded, another violation from June 2020 was resolved by September 2020. On a more positive note, the building has demonstrated consistent compliance with rodent control standards in recent years.

There have been no rat activities noted in the most recent inspections throughout 2023-2025, with all rodent inspections passing successfully. The building's maintenance record shows significant improvement in pest management, with no recorded rat activity since January 2022, marking a substantial turnaround from the initial rat activity violation in that year. While the outstanding bedbug report violations are concerning from a maintenance compliance perspective, the building's recent history shows effective management of rodent-related issues and a period of bedbug control with no documented infestions.
