1860 East 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

1860 East 12th Street is a 4-story, 38-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Giuseppe Dimaggio. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints indicating problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, including two emergency calls in January 2025.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, particularly in late 2024, when violations were issued related to flooring, stairs, plumbing, and ceiling conditions. Notably, Apartment B8 has multiple open violations from November 2024, including issues with scalding hot water temperatures, a clogged bathtub waste line, window frame problems, and deficiencies in ceiling plaster and paint. The building's recent history shows consistent problems with basic services and maintenance, including multiple failed inspection attempts regarding general intercom system functionality and various building systems.

While there are two active violations from December 2022 and December 2023 regarding energy efficiency score display requirements, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero cases reported in the past eight annual filings between 2019 and 2024. A zoning complaint from 2019 was inspected and found to have no violations. The persistent nature of heat and maintenance issues, particularly in recent months, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and general upkeep, though the prompt response to some complaints indicates a partial willingness to address issues as they arise.
