534 East 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

534 East 11th Street, a six-story old law tenement building constructed in 1920, is currently managed by 534 East 11th Street H.D.F.C. and contains 29 residential units. The building has experienced several significant safety and compliance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024, when multiple violations were recorded related to construction site safety.

Most notably, in November 2024, the Department of Buildings issued violations to Penta Restoration Corp for inadequate inspection documents for suspended scaffolding and for creating worker safety hazards, resulting in fines of $2,500 and $5,000 respectively. A Stop Work Order was also temporarily implemented in December 2024 but was subsequently rescinded. Earlier in 2024, the building received additional citations regarding inadequate sidewalk protection and improper storage of construction materials.

Despite these recent construction-related challenges, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2019-2024), as evidenced by consistent zero counts in all bedbug reporting periods. Furthermore, inspections for rodent control have been regularly conducted and passed consistently from 2019 through 2025, indicating effective pest management practices. The building's only other recorded violations, from 2020 and 2021, were dismissed in December 2022 based on subsequent inspections showing that defects had been corrected. While the recent construction safety issues are concerning, the building's overall pest control record has been exemplary, with no recurring infestation pattern detected over the past several years.
