258 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

258 12th Street, an 8-unit, 4-story old law tenement building located in South Slope and owned by Tony Dipiazza, has been standing since 1931. The building's recent history shows consistent attention to regulatory requirements, particularly in terms of safety systems and pest control.

Most notably, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past five consecutive annual reports from 2019 through 2024, though there was a significant infestation incident involving four units in 2019 that required eradication. The building has demonstrated proactive maintenance regarding safety equipment, with violations from 2015 concerning faulty smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in unit 3R being officially certified as corrected in February 2023. An older violation from 2000 involving a defective secondary door in unit 1-L has also been resolved, with certification occurring in early 2023.

The building has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent annual reports (2024 and 2023) showing no infested or re-infested units. There was one Department of Buildings complaint in 2018 regarding an unspecified permit issue, but this was closed due to the inspector being unable to gain access for the second final attempt. The property appears to have addressed previous safety concerns adequately, as evidenced by the successful closure of multiple violations in 2023, though the presence of these violations at various times (2015 and 2000) indicates historical gaps in maintenance attention to these critical systems.
