12 East 13th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
12 East 13th Street is a 12-story, 8-unit mixed-use building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Christina Forbes. The building has experienced several notable compliance and maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centered around its elevator system and façade maintenance requirements.
As of July 2025, the elevator had an active violation from September 2019 regarding failure to correct defects identified in 2017 CAT 1 inspection/testing, which remains unresolved. The building has also faced multiple violations related to its Exterior Wall Inspection (FISP) requirements, including two ECB violations in 2018 and 2021 for failure to submit required 8B reports, and a violation from July 2018 regarding non-compliance with the August 2018 deadline that was ultimately dismissed. The property has shown consistent attention to pest management, with bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units, and recent records indicating successful rodent inspections in 2016, 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2024, all of which passed.
The building's maintenance history shows periodic violations and fines, including a 2021 penalty of $1,250 for failure to submit the required exterior wall report, though this was later resolved. The most recent bedbug report filed in December 2024 for the period ending October 2024 indicates no infestations, maintaining a record of effective pest management. While the building has had its share of compliance issues, particularly regarding elevator safety and façade maintenance requirements, it has demonstrated consistent maintenance of basic habitability standards.
