502 East 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

502 East 11th Street is a 4-story, 5-unit old-law tenement building located in Manhattan's East Village neighborhood, currently owned by John Clark and dating back to 1900. The building has experienced persistent rodent issues, with multiple complaints recorded between 2021 and 2023, leading to several rounds of bait application throughout 2023.

Most recently, in early 2025, the property passed an initial rodent inspection, marking a potential improvement in pest control efforts. The building has also faced ongoing regulatory challenges, with open violations related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. Earlier complaints from 2020 regarding plumbing issues and drainage problems were investigated but no violations were warranted at the time of inspection.

The property has undergone regular pest control measures, with multiple bait applications recorded in 2023, particularly between April and July of that year. While recent rodent inspection results have been passing, the historical frequency of rodent-related complaints and the current open bedbug reporting violations suggest ongoing challenges in maintaining comprehensive pest management protocols. The building's age and classification as an old-law tenement are consistent with its architectural and regulatory background, and while some infrastructure concerns have been raised through complaints, inspections have generally found no violations warranting further action.
