420 East 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The six-story, 11-unit building at 420 East 11th Street, owned by Christine Renzi and constructed in 2007, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular concerns about water damage and sanitation. Most recently, in June 2025, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene issued warnings to the owner regarding potential violations involving rodents, insects, or garbage, and in spring 2024, there were multiple complaints about mold and unsanitary conditions that required HPD intervention. The building has undergone various repairs and has had multiple emergency complaints, including electrical issues (no lighting), door problems, and plumbing concerns involving basins, sinks, and bathtubs/showers.

Records indicate attention has been paid to door self-closing mechanisms, with violations noted and corrected in September 2023 related to safety codes. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a regular schedule of rodent inspections, all of which have passed since 2020, suggesting improved pest management. The property has consistently filed bedbug reports showing zero infestations or eradication efforts since 2018.

While there was one illegal conversion complaint in 2021 and a single elevator-related complaint in 2020, both were resolved without findings of violation. The building's management has generally responded to and closed complaints promptly, though there have been instances where HPD inspectors faced access issues. Two mold-related emergency complaints from September and October 2024 remain notable due to their potential health implications, and a flooring/stairs complaint filed in June 2025 is currently open. Regular inspections and reporting indicate an ongoing commitment to building maintenance, though the frequency of various sanitation-related complaints suggests periodic challenges in this area.
