Augrented Insights Report for 221 West 12th Street

221 West 12th Street is a 6-story, 56-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Charles Alpert. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water outages, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2021 and 2025, including a recent emergency complaint in June 2025.

The most recent maintenance concerns involve water leaks and ceiling paint issues reported in May 2025, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for these complaints. The building has also faced challenges with bedbug infestations, with reports filed in 2024 and 2023, though in each case the affected units were reported as eradicated. While the building passed recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, there was one failure noted in December 2021.

The Department of Buildings issued several violations that remain active, including failure to file FISP Cycle 9B Technical Report (2023) and to display energy efficiency scores (2021). Recent structural concerns were noted in 2023 regarding temporary lighting under sidewalk sheds, though this violation was resolved with a penalty imposed. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to compliance, with multiple environmental control board violations resolved promptly and various permits issued between 2019 and 2022 for necessary work.
