328 East 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

328 East 11th Street is a 5-story, 14-unit Old Law Tenement building located in New York City's East Village, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Raphael Caprio. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding water and heating systems. Most notably, there was a significant water leak with heavy flow reported in May 2023, and an entire building heating and hot water outage in October 2022, though neither incident resulted in official violations.

A Department of Health and Mental Hygiene investigation in 2019 regarding chemical vapors, gases, or odors did not lead to any violations but resulted in management receiving an advisory. The building underwent a comprehensive inspection on June 17, 2023, revealing multiple safety-related violations that require attention. These include the need to post proper notices for smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, as well as building registration information.

The inspection also noted issues with garbage disposal in the first-story public hall and problems with self-closing doors. While the building appears to have maintained good rodent control, passing all inspections from 2019 to 2025, the property management has successfully maintained a bedbug-free environment, with all annual filings showing zero infested or eradicated units from 2019 through 2025. A complaint regarding work without a permit in February 2025 was investigated the same day and found to have no warranted violations. Despite the building's age, it has maintained a consistent record of rodent control and bedbug prevention, though the recent safety violations and water heating issues suggest areas requiring ongoing attention.
