Augrented Insights Report for 2555 East 12th Street

2555 East 12th Street is a 91-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1963, currently owned by Robert Zelman. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints recorded for both apartment-specific and building-wide failures. During the first half of 2025 alone, there were incidents of no lighting reported in April, and heat/hot water issues in January, though some of these complaints could not be adequately inspected due to access issues.

The building has documented violations regarding self-closing doors in the laundry room and public areas, with an inspection on December 9, 2024, noting violations related to both missing or defective hinges and improper door closing mechanisms. The property has faced several significant maintenance challenges since 2020, including issues with the building's exterior walls, with multiple violations noted for spalled bricks and mortar problems. There are also active ECB violations from 2023-2024 regarding vent/exhaust maintenance and phone system operability.

The building's elevator system has shown recurring issues, with multiple complaints about its operation and safety features between 2020-2025. Notably, there are outstanding DOB violations regarding the failure to submit required inspection reports for various systems, including the External Low-Pressure Inspection, which remain active as of June 2024. The building underwent rodent inspections in 2016 and 2022, passing the most recent one, and had no bedbug infestations reported in the 2017-2018 period.
