34 West 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

This 5-unit, 4-story building at 34 West 12th Street in Greenwich Village, constructed in 1860 and currently owned by W12th Street LLC, has experienced several significant events over the past few years. The building has undergone multiple construction projects since 2018, with Maman Construction Co LLC cited for various violations in 2022-2024 related to construction safety and debris management, including a notable April 2024 violation for a missing handrail that posed immediate fall hazards, for which a $2,500 penalty was imposed.

Between 2021 and 2024, the building received four separate Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports, although recent filings from 2025 confirm zero infested units during the reporting period. The building has maintained a strong record of rodent control, passing all inspections from 2011 through 2024. Most recently, there is an active complaint as of July 2024 regarding Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections.

The building has also faced administrative challenges, with violations issued for failure to file External Low-Pressure Inspection documents for 2021-2023, though these were dismissed in February 2025. Various complaints related to construction debris and building safety were investigated in 2023, with most being dismissed as no violations warranted. The property's permit history shows activity in 2018-2019, and while there have been multiple complaints and violations, the building's management has generally addressed issues when they arise, as evidenced by the resolution of most Environmental Control Board violations and the recent confirmation of no bedbug infestations.
