Augrented Insights Report for 40 East 12th Street

The 9-story, 23-unit building at 40 East 12th Street in Greenwich Village, built in 1900 and currently owned by Persepolis Development, LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are five active DOB violations from 2023-2024 related to failure to maintain external low pressure systems, and a 2024 violation concerning a missing fire door self-closing mechanism.

The building has documented ventilation and mold issues, particularly affecting Unit 7A, and multiple problems with self-closing doors were identified in 2024 inspections affecting Units 4B and 6B. Between 2022-2023, the property received penalties totaling $10,000 for inadequate safety measures during facade work, and there have been historical issues with cooking gas systems and appliance maintenance.

The building's facade has required attention, with multiple violations issued between 2022-2023 related to maintenance and inspection documentation, though recent rodent inspections show consistent passing results. Notably, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status based on filings from 2020-2024, with no reported infestations during this period. While many past violations have been resolved, the persistence of some active violations as of 2025, particularly regarding door mechanisms and low pressure system inspections, indicates ongoing maintenance challenges.
