212 East 122nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10035
212 East 122nd Street is a 6-story, 33-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by 122 Realty (2012) LLC. The building has experienced ongoing rodent issues, with multiple complaints and inspections between 2024-2025 showing varying levels of rodent activity, including recent violations in April and May 2025. The property has also faced several maintenance challenges, particularly in late 2023 and early 2024, with violations related to plumbing (bathtub/shower issues), flooring, appliances, and unsanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations.
During this period, three notable violations were issued in apartment 6E regarding safety equipment, including defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and self-closing doors. The building has an established history of heat and hot water complaints, with emergency complaints recorded in 2023 and 2024, though both were subsequently resolved. Previous serious concerns included four environmental control board violations in 2019 related to illegal transient use in apartment 2A, which was resolved but resulted in substantial penalties.
More recently, there are active Building Department violations for failure to file energy-related documents from 2021 and 2019, though violation for late 2022 external low-pressure inspection was dismissed in 2023. The building's management has shown some responsiveness to issues, as evident from the closure of various complaints and violations, though the recurring nature of certain problems, particularly pests and safety equipment deficiencies, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 indicate no infestations during these periods.
