12 West 96th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

At 12 West 96th Street, a 16-story, 69-unit building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Robert Mark, several significant maintenance and safety events have occurred over recent years. Most notably, in February 2023, multiple emergency maintenance issues were recorded including mold problems, a slow water leak, and concerns about roofing, though all these complaints were subsequently closed. The building has undergone multiple Tenant Safety Inspections in 2023, with some resulting in Oath Violations and others being marked as "Compliance Inspection Performed." More recent building concerns include a window frame issue in May 2024, which was promptly addressed, and an Environmental Control Board violation in October 2023 related to inadequate tenant protection plans, though this was resolved without penalty.

The property has experienced recurring pest management challenges, with rodent sightings reported in 2021 (April, May, June), though these were investigated and found not to warrant violations. Rodent control inspections conducted between 2017 and 2024 have consistently resulted in passing grades. Bedbug reports show minimal occurrence, with only one infested unit recorded in the 2020-2021 period, and subsequent years showing no infestations.

The building has maintained regular permit issuance for various maintenance works throughout the years, with the most recent permits issued in 2023. Historical inspection records indicate previous concerns in 2022 regarding unsafe conditions and debris, though these were resolved. The property's environmental control violations are mostly dated and relate to various issues that have since been addressed, including an elevator problem documented in 2019 that was ultimately dismissed.
