212 East 30th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
212 East 30th Street is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building located in Kips Bay, built in 1910 and currently owned by the Livia Wan Lui Revocable Trust. The property has experienced persistent issues with bedbug report compliance, receiving annual Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024 for failure to file the required annual bedbug report, with the most recent violation remaining open as of April 2024.
Between 2018 and 2025, the building underwent multiple construction and renovation projects, evidenced by numerous building permits issued and several safety-related violations. Significant concerns emerged during 2019-2020, including multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to construction safety and management, such as inadequate safety equipment, housekeeping issues, and violations regarding electrical work, handrails, and overhead protection, with penalties totaling over $40,000, though records indicate these violations were ultimately resolved. The building's recent history shows some improvement in maintenance and compliance, with rodent inspections in 2025 showing a "Passed" result after previous rat activity was noted in 2020.
Complaints logged between 2022 and 2024 demonstrate various construction-related issues, though inspections consistently found no violations warranted at the time of inspection for most of these complaints. The most recent Department of Buildings violation from October 2023 regarding failure to certify correction on an immediately hazardous ECB violation was dismissed in June 2024. The property has maintained regular permit activity, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2023 for various types of work, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts.
