1069 East 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

1069 East 12th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Midwood, Brooklyn, and was constructed in 1915. The building, currently owned by 1069 E 12 LLC, has experienced several maintenance and code compliance issues, particularly during 2023. As of March 2023, there were multiple open violations related to self-closing doors, including defective doors at the building entrance and in apartment 2 on the second story.

Additional safety concerns were noted in apartment 2, including missing or defective window guards and a problematic key-operated lock on the fire escape window. A March 2023 inspection also identified issues requiring attention to the east wall in the 2nd story public hall, specifically regarding paint and fire retardant materials. A more recent violation from March 2023 pertains to the bedbug reporting requirement, which is currently listed as open.

The building has a documented history of complaints from July 2020, including issues with wall conditions, pest problems, and flooring concerns, though these complaints were subsequently closed. However, it's worth noting that the property has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug infestations, with all six annual bedbug reports filed between 2020 and 2024 indicating zero infested units, zero eradications, and zero re-infested units. While the building's bedbug management appears effective, the accumulation of open violations from 2023, particularly regarding building security and safety features, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention.
