Augrented Insights Report for 290 West 12th Street

The 6-story, 44-unit New Law Tenement at 290 West 12th Street, built in 1903 and currently owned by Steven Croman, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with building-wide heat and hot water systems. The most recent heat and hot water complaint, filed in October 2024, remains unresolved as of October 2025, marking a concerning pattern of infrastructure challenges.

The building has also faced pest issues, with a closed unsanitary condition complaint in April 2024, though recent rodent inspections in 2025 passed without any violations. Significant safety concerns have been documented over the past several years, including violations related to emergency systems in 2022, specifically regarding non-compliant emergency lighting and fire alarm systems that were subsequently resolved.

The building has experienced multiple elevator-related complaints, with the most recent in 2024 receiving no violation at the time of inspection. Additionally, there were violations found regarding building maintenance requirements, including a failure to maintain fire escape components documented in 2021, which was resolved. The property has maintained a relatively clean bill of health regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past two years.
