15 East 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
15 East 12th Street is a 4-story, 2-family residential building located in Greenwich Village, constructed in 1873 and currently owned by Charles Alpert. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related events over the past decade, with the most recent concerning indoor air quality issues related to construction dust in September 2022.
There have been three major mechanical system concerns: a defective boiler in September 2021 (resolved with an Oath violation served), a problematic plumbing system in November 2022 (inspector unable to gain access), and inadequate sprinkler system installation in July 2018, which resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations including improper installation and false documentation regarding the sprinkler system. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both urgent and routine maintenance issues, including a recent April 2025 complaint that was referred to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
Historical data indicates persistent attention to pest management, with bedbug reports showing no infestation during the most recent reporting period (2023-2024) and consistent rodent inspections passing from 2016 through 2024. While the building has faced several violations and complaints over the years, many were resolved or dismissed, including three separate violations in 2018 related to failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations, and multiple issues regarding the sprinkler system that were eventually resolved with no penalties imposed.
