8 East 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

8 East 12th Street is a 12-story, 11-unit residential building located in Greenwich Village, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Steven Hoffman. The building has experienced recurring elevator-related issues, with two violations in 2020-2021 regarding multiple devices on the property, leading to two $1,250 penalties. More recently, in December 2024, there was a complaint about work being performed without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, which was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs.

The building's elevator system faced significant scrutiny in 2021, resulting in two ECB violations for non-functional phones and missing door lock monitoring equipment, though these were ultimately resolved. The property has maintained a strong record regarding pest control, with no reported cases of bedbugs across eight consecutive annual reports from 2019 through 2024. Regular inspections for rodent presence have been consistently passed since 2010, with the most recent inspection in July 2024 confirming no issues.

Several infrastructure improvements have been documented, including a work permit issued in July 2024 for plumbing work, and an exterior work permit issued in October 2018. Historical records from 2018 show concerns about the building facade, with a $2,500 violation for exterior maintenance issues including cracked stones and damaged mortar, though this appears to have been resolved. While there have been various violations and complaints throughout the building's history, most have been addressed and resolved, with no outstanding issues related to bedbugs or rodent infestations.
