632 East 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 6-story, 33-unit tenement building at 632 East 11th Street in the East Village, owned by Daniel Hochberg, shows a significant pattern of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Most recently, in March 2025, there were two emergency heat/hot water complaints, with one inspection being unable to gain access to units. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water problems, with three separate complaints in October 2023 alone.

Other notable issues include a persistent pest problem (November 2023), and water-related concerns including a heavy flow leak and mold in July 2024. The building currently has open violations from a 2019 inspection, including issues with public hall ceilings, fire retardant materials, and electrical wiring. The property has undergone various renovation activities, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints in 2019 regarding work contrary to stop work orders, though inspections generally found no violations at the time. During construction periods, there were several Environmental Control Board violations related to construction safety and documentation, though most have been resolved with penalties paid.

A concerning pattern emerged in 2021-2022 with rat activity documented in inspections, though subsequent inspections in 2022 and beyond have passed. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the last five years (most recent filings show 0 infested units), the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing oversight challenges. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections since 2022, though some earlier violations were noted. A heat supply violation from January 2019 involving Apartment 30 has not been resolved according to current records.
