215 East 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
The 5-unit, 3-story residential building at 215 East 12th Street in the East Village, owned by Pamela Bell, has been standing since 1900 and is classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building. The property has experienced several recurring issues over the past few years that warrant attention. Most notably, there have been multiple open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, and one serious heat/hot water complaint from February 2023 that required HPD involvement.
The building's exterior lighting has also been a concern since 2019, when a violation was issued for inadequate front entrance lighting. While the building has passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025, including the most recent April 2025 inspection, the maintenance of basic services has been inconsistent. The building has experienced isolated infrastructure issues, as evidenced by a gas utility referral in April 2022 (no violations found) and a permit-related inquiry in September 2018 (also no violations found).
A plumbing permit was issued in October 2021, indicating some level of maintenance activity. The property has maintained a generally stable condition regarding pest control, with all rodent inspections passing consistently, suggesting effective management in this area. However, the persistent bedbug report violations and the 2023 heat/hot water complaint indicate some gaps in maintenance and reporting compliance that have developed over recent years.
