610 East 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

610 East 11th Street is a 6-story, 28-unit old law tenement building located in the East Village, owned by William Hubbard and constructed in 1900. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple heavy flow water leak complaints in recent years, including an open complaint as of December 2024 and two new complaints in February 2025 that HPD was unable to inspect. The building has also faced heating system challenges, particularly in February 2024 when multiple tenants reported building-wide heat and hot water problems, though inspections were complicated by access issues.

Safety concerns have been documented through various Housing Maintenance Code violations, including ongoing issues with self-closing doors in multiple apartments (notably 5E and 3B), and a bedbug report violation from April 2024 requiring annual reporting compliance. Recent building inspections have generally shown passing results for rodent inspections conducted throughout 2023-2025, indicating effective pest control measures. The Department of Buildings has recorded several elevator-related complaints between 2022-2024, though inspections typically found no violations warranting certification.

The building's systems have undergone scrutiny, with an Environmental Control Board violation from 2022 noting a water leak at the boiler, and a 2020 facade issue involving hairline cracks. Maintenance efforts appear to be addressing some infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by the closed status of many recent complaints, though patterns of recurring issues suggest ongoing maintenance needs. The property's bedbug reporting history shows consistent zero infestation rates from 2020 through 2025, indicating effective management of this pest control requirement.
