424 East 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

424 East 11th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently managed by 424 East 11 St LLC in Manhattan's East Village neighborhood. The building has experienced persistent infrastructure challenges over the past two years, with recurring issues related to heat and hot water, particularly concerning the entire building's heating system. Most recently, in February 2025, HPD was unable to gain access to inspect complaints about heat and hot water problems, similar to previous incidents in December 2024 and October 2024.

The building has also faced significant plumbing concerns, with multiple water supply complaints in October 2024, though HPD inspections found no violations. Pest control issues have been documented, with violations issued in July 2024 for roach infestations, particularly affecting Apartment 2 on the first floor. More recent developments include open emergency maintenance requests from June 2025 regarding paint/plaster issues and problems with basins/sinks.

The building's structural integrity was questioned in July 2023 when complaints were made about shaking and vibrating, leading to a Department of Buildings inspection that discovered vertical and horizontal cracks in the masonry stucco along the stairwell wall at the first-floor level, resulting in an active ECB violation with a penalty. While there have been some rodent activity concerns throughout 2024-2025, recent inspections as of July 2025 indicate that the building has passed rodent inspections. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the last two filing periods (2024-2025 and 2023-2024), though an annual bedbug report violation was noted in April 2024. The persistent issues with heating systems, plumbing, and pest control, combined with recent structural concerns, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges at this 1920-built property.
