514 East 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 8-unit, 4-story tenement building at 514 East 11th Street in the East Village, owned by Logan Welde, has been subject to several important safety and maintenance issues since its construction in 1929. Most notably, the building has consistently faced challenges with timely filing of required bedbug reports, with violations documented through 2024 related to the failure to submit annual reports as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code regulations.

While the building's bedbug reporting history shows zero infested units, this pattern of regulatory non-compliance is concerning. Additionally, there are currently two active violations with the Department of Buildings from 2023 and 2024 related to failure to submit external low pressure inspections, indicating potential maintenance oversight. The building's safety record shows generally positive outcomes in recent years, with all rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025 passing except for one failure in 2020, and no recent violations indicating active pest problems.

Earlier violations from 2019 and 2015 highlighted issues with building security and maintenance, including inadequate lighting at the front entrance and self-closing doors at the bulkhead, though these were subsequently resolved. Historical records from 1989 reveal several maintenance issues that have since been addressed, including problems with public hall walls, rooftop equipment, and encumbrances in common areas. While the building has demonstrated ongoing compliance with many safety requirements, the recent pattern of regulatory violations regarding bedbug reporting and external inspections suggests some lapses in administrative compliance, though these do not necessarily indicate immediate safety concerns for current residents.
