The 5-story, 15-unit old law tenement building at 539 East 11th Street, owned by Jimmy Muniz and dating from 1900, has experienced recurring maintenance and health challenges in recent years. Most notably, there has been a persistent rodent problem, with rat sightings documented through multiple 311 complaints and inspection results showing rat activity in 2024-2025, though two inspections in 2024 and 2025 did pass.
The building has faced significant plumbing issues, particularly in 2025, with multiple emergency housing maintenance code complaints regarding bathtubs/showers, sewage problems, and a radiator issue. Apartment 3A has current open violations from October 2024 regarding water leaks and damaged plaster/paint.
The property has also dealt with water-related problems as evidenced by multiple water leak complaints in October 2024, and a series of plumbing issues affecting various fixtures throughout 2025. While there were significant pest issues in early 2023, with inspections documenting roaches and mice in apartment 1A, subsequent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 indicate no infestations during those periods, and all relevant violations have been closed.
