212 East 14th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

212 East 14th Street is a 6-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by 212 Prt LLC. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most notable current concern being an unresolved lighting issue reported in May 2025. Past problems have included water leaks (documented in 2021 and 2022), heat and hot water issues in October 2022, and various building system malfunctions in 2024 related to doors and intercoms - though these were resolved without violations.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in May 2024, including requirements for proper signage regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures, along with the need to display building registration information and the completed certificate of inspection visits. These violations were certified as corrected by late May 2024. The building's maintenance record shows some concerning patterns, particularly regarding water-related issues and emergency service requests.

However, it is noteworthy that there have been no documented bedbug infestations since 2021, and the property has consistently passed rodent inspections, including recent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The property has maintained a Class A designation and has generally complied with housing maintenance code requirements, though periodic issues with building systems and infrastructure have persisted. The most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 show no infestations, and records indicate that previous infestations were properly addressed. While there are open service requests and past maintenance issues, recent improvements suggest ongoing management attention to building systems and code compliance.
