223 East 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

Located in the East Village, 223 East 12th Street is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Mario Lucarelli. The building has experienced a recent period of heating-related issues, with a heat and hot water complaint received in January 2025 that prompted an HPD inspection; however, the inspectors found no violations of housing laws, and the complaint was subsequently closed.

This marks the only recent maintenance complaint on record. The building's pest management history shows relatively few issues, with three consecutive years (2023, 2024, and 2025) reporting no bedbug infestations or eradications, though there was one notable incident in 2022-2023 where five units required treatment. Of particular note is the building's consistently excellent rodent inspection record: from 2019 through 2025, all ten annual inspections have resulted in a "Passed" status, indicating effective management of pest control measures.

This regular compliance with rodent control regulations stands out positively in the building's overall maintenance history. The building operates under a "Heretofore Converted Class A" designation, which typically refers to former hotels or transient facilities that have been converted to permanent residential use. While the recent heating system complaint warrants attention, the overall maintenance record suggests regular building oversight and prompt response to reported issues, particularly regarding pest and rodent management.
