212 West 14th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

212 West 14th Street is a 6-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Jaime Rodriguez. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns including a May 2023 indoor air quality complaint related to construction dust (which resulted in no violations), and a notable series of utility-related problems in 2021-2022, including a heavy flow water leak investigation in late 2022 that HPD could not inspect, a power outage in December 2021 that was inspected with no violations found, and issues with both plumbing (basin/sink) and appliance (electric/gas range) problems in June 2021 that HPD also could not inspect.

The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestation or eradication cases in the past five reporting periods from 2019-2024. Recent regulatory compliance checks show that the building had a violation in June 2023 for failing to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection, though this was subsequently dismissed in July 2023.

The property has generally passed rodent inspections, with only one recorded instance of rat activity in March 2025, while previous inspections from 2018 to 2024 consistently resulted in "Passed" ratings. Historical complaints from 2019-2021 indicate various issues including unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions and multiple instances where HPD could not gain access to inspect reported problems. The building has also had two elevator-related complaints between 2021-2022, though these were either insufficient information to locate the address or no violation warranted at the time of inspection.
