234 North 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

234 North 12th Street is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building located in Greenpoint and owned by Maxwell Seibald, constructed in 2005. The property has experienced several notable health and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant being a reported indoor air quality concern involving chemical vapors in February 2023 and a rodent attraction violation in late 2022, though follow-up inspections resulted in compliance.

The building has also faced challenges with its sprinkler system, prompting a complaint in February 2025 that was inspected but found to have no violations. A more serious matter emerged in mid-2024 when an occupancy violation was cited regarding a business operating contrary to its Certificate of Occupancy, specifically involving overnight dog boarding at "Happy Dogs," resulting in a $1,250 fine that remains active. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with no documented infestations or re-infestations during this period.

Regular tenant safety inspections conducted in 2023 found no violations, and while the building experienced some initial rodent control challenges in late 2022, subsequent inspections in early 2023 passed compliance. The property has consistently submitted its annual bedbug reports on time, showing diligent attention to this particular pest management requirement. The building's property records indicate active efforts to address violations when they occur, though some issues, such as the occupancy violation, suggest ongoing concerns about compliance with building regulations.
