257 West 12th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
257 West 12th Street is a 5-story, 11-unit residential building located in the West Village, constructed in 1891, and currently owned by Yong Kim. The building has experienced some recent maintenance issues, most notably an unsanitary condition related to pests that was reported through both 311 and Housing Maintenance Code complaints in November 2024, though this complaint was closed in June 2025 with indications that the condition had been corrected.
While there have been no reported bedbug incidents in the past four years (2021-2025), the building has had a more complex history with rodent management, particularly in 2019, when there were multiple inspections showing varying levels of rodent activity, including one failed inspection and instances of rat activity. However, more recent rodent inspections from 2021 through 2025 have consistently passed, suggesting improved pest management practices. The Department of Buildings conducted an inspection in February 2023 regarding an enforcement work order complaint, which was found to have no violations at the time of inspection.
The building's bedbug reporting records from 2020 to 2025 show zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units during the reporting periods, indicating effective management of this particular pest issue. The most recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed successfully, with one inspection in 2019 requiring bait application and showing rat activity. The property has maintained a relatively good record in recent years, with no documented recurring pest issues in the past two years, though the 2024 pest complaint suggests occasional maintenance challenges.
