71 West 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
71 West 12th Street is a 6-story, 46-unit residential building located in Greenwich Village, built in 1922 and currently owned by John Cummings. The building has faced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with four documented complaints between 2021 and 2025, though inspections generally confirmed restoration of services by the time of inspection.
Recent concerns include two rodent-related complaints in 2025, one of which was closed due to prior complaints about the same location (January), and another being a rat sighting (April) which was investigated but found to have no violations. The building has experienced various maintenance issues over the past several years, including plumbing problems (notably toilet issues in late 2024), and unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage (2021).
A comprehensive inspection of Apartment 5G in 2019 revealed multiple violations including defective plaster surfaces, paint requirements, and issues with kitchen cabinets. The property has active Department of Buildings violations regarding exterior maintenance and facade conditions, with issues noted about spalled bricks, cracked masonry, and missing mortar joints as of late 2022. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations reported in recent years (2022-2024), and has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2016 and 2025, though there have been some rodent-related complaints that required investigation.
