511 East 5th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
The five-story, 8-unit tenement building at 511 East 5th Street in the East Village, owned by Evie Junior, has experienced several significant events since 2019, with the most recent being rodent-related inspections in 2025 showing improved compliance. Between 2021-2024, the building underwent multiple Department of Buildings investigations, mainly in April 2021, for various violations including unpermitted construction work, certificate of occupancy issues, and concerns about adjacent buildings. These inspections revealed concerning modifications such as an unauthorized wooden deck and shed at the rear, which were subsequently fined and required correction through ECB violations.
While a partial stop work order was issued in May 2021, subsequent inspections found no violations. The building has demonstrated ongoing challenges with rodent control, evidenced by a failed inspection in July 2024 and past rodent activity noted in January 2024. However, recent inspections in 2025 have shown passed results.
The property has maintained a clean record for bedbugs, with all annual reports from 2019-2024 showing zero infestations or treatment requirements. A food establishment complaint regarding rodents/insects/garbage from 2021-2024 was also administratively closed. The building's permit history shows several approved permits between 2018-2019 for various work, including multiple exterior/water-related improvements. A December 2024 complaint about unlicensed/illegal activity resulted in inspector inability to gain access, and a 2021 complaint regarding adjacent buildings not being protected was dismissed as no violations were warranted at the time of inspection.
