212 East 18th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

212 East 18th Street is a 3-story, 9-unit residential building in Gramercy, owned by William Cooper and constructed in 1850. The property has a mixed record of maintenance issues and compliance inspections over recent years. Most notably, there were three significant complaints in 2020 regarding electrical lighting and ceiling plaster, while 2019 saw a complaint about an electric/gas range - all of which were closed without violations being issued.

The building has faced two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022 and 2023 related to bedbug report filings, though these violations were subsequently closed. More positively, the bedbug reporting history shows consistent zero infestation reports from 2019 through 2023, indicating effective pest management. Inspection records show variable rodent activity, with the most recent 2025 inspection passing compliance standards, though there was documented rat activity in April 2025, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges.

The building's maintenance history includes regular inspections, with seven consecutive passed rat inspections from 2012 to 2018, followed by more mixed results in recent years. The property has also maintained compliance with reporting requirements, as evidenced by the regular submission of bedbug reports to HPD. The building's maintenance record, while showing some housing code violations, demonstrates generally responsive management to resident complaints and compliance with most regulatory requirements.
