620 East 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
620 East 11th Street is a 6-story, 26-unit old law tenement building located in the East Village and owned by Peter Jakobson Jr. Built in 1900, the building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding cooking gas supply problems. From September 2024 through 2025, there were multiple complaints about cooking gas issues, including open violations regarding inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures in Apartment 1 that remain unresolved as of September 2024. The building also faced safety concerns in 2024, with violations issued for missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in Apartment 1 during a September 2024 inspection.
Additional maintenance history shows various building-wide issues in 2024-2025, including multiple complaints about appliance problems (specifically electric/gas ranges), water leaks, and plumbing issues. A notable sequence of complaints in March 2024 involved multiple violations, including a carbon monoxide detector issue, bell/intercom problems, and concerns about hot water temperatures in various units. The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections, passing all but one (in October 2024 when rat activity was noted). While there have been some bedbug infestations reported between 2019-2024, the most recent filings for 2023-2024 show no active infestations.
The property has experienced periodic inspection activity, with varying results. An illegal conversion complaint filed in March 2024 was investigated but did not warrant any violations. The building has multiple open violations as of late 2024, particularly affecting Apartment 1, with issues including defective self-closing doors, bathroom door problems, and plaster/paint concerns in the bathroom. Despite these ongoing maintenance challenges, recent rodent inspections in 2025 show compliance with pest control standards. The frequency of gas-related complaints and safety violations, particularly regarding detectors, suggests ongoing infrastructure maintenance challenges that have persisted over multiple years.
