12 East 48th Street, Manhattan, NY 10017

12 East 48th Street is a 32-story Class B building located in Midtown Manhattan, owned by Carlos Martino and constructed in 2017. The property has experienced several significant events over the past few years, most notably failing to file its External Low-Pressure Inspection reports for both 2021 and 2022, which resulted in two active violations as of June 2023.

The building underwent a period of heightened scrutiny during its early years, with multiple complaints and inspections between 2019 and 2021, including issues related to construction safety compliance, worker site conditions, and plumbing concerns. While most of these complaints were ultimately found to have no violations warranted or were closed without penalties, there was one instance in 2019 involving an Immediately Hazardous (Class 1) ECB violation that required correction certification, though this was later dismissed.

The building's maintenance record shows relatively few resident-impacting issues in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations in the two most recent reporting periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023). The property has maintained a pattern of resolving most complaints without significant penalties or ongoing violations, with most recent inspections (including a tenant safety inspection in April 2023) finding no warrantable violations. It's worth noting that many of the earlier complaints and issues appear to be related to the building's construction phase rather than ongoing operations, and the relatively clean recent history suggests improved compliance with building regulations.
