48 West 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 4-story, 9-unit residential building at 48 West 12th Street in Greenwich Village, owned by West 12th Street Tenants Corp, has experienced several notable events since 2019. Most concerning is a Certificate of Occupancy-related complaint in April 2023, which required multiple inspection attempts but ultimately could not be verified due to access issues.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations from 2019 through 2024, with all annual reports showing zero infested or eradicated units. However, there appears to be an emerging pest control issue, as indicated by recent rodent inspections: a rat activity report in August 2024 was followed by a compliance inspection failure in September 2024, breaking a previously consistent pattern of passed inspections between 2012-2023.

The building has undergone some maintenance work, with several plumbing and electrical permits issued in 2019-2020, suggesting ongoing infrastructure upkeep. Prior to the recent rodent issue, the building demonstrated strong pest management practices, evidenced by multiple successful rodent inspections over the years. While the building's historical data shows generally good maintenance practices and no documented illegal unit concerns, the recent Certificate of Occupancy complaint and rodent issues merit attention as potential emerging concerns.
