648 East 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

648 East 11th Street, located in New York City's East Village neighborhood, is a 3-story, 35-unit residential building constructed in 1999 and currently owned by Paul Xuereb. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint filed in October 2024, indicating ongoing concerns with building-wide temperature maintenance. In 2022, multiple health and safety concerns were documented, including unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, pests, and sewage issues, although inspections did not result in violations in most cases.

A notable incident occurred in 2021 when several complaints regarding rodent sightings were reported, with some follow-up inspections revealing rat activity. Building infrastructure issues were identified in 2022, including door frame problems at Basement Apartment B1, resulting in B-Class violations for door repairs. The property has a concerning history of potential illegal occupancy and safety compliance issues, with active violations from 2019 citing improper use of Apartment A1 as transient housing without required safety systems, though more recent inspections have not substantiated these claims.

The building has undergone regular pest management inspections, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passing compliance checks, suggesting improvements in rodent control. Notably, bedbug reports from 2020 through 2024 show no infestations or eradication attempts, indicating successful management of this particular pest issue. The building's maintenance history includes several emergency heat/hot water complaints between 2018 and 2024, with one significant violation issued in 2022 regarding a door frame repair in Basement Apartment B1. While the property has had various maintenance issues, recent inspections indicate some improvements in both rodent control and heat system responsiveness, though heat-related complaints persist as a recurring concern.
