224 East 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

224 East 11th Street is a 6-story, 26-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Eric Michael. The building has undergone regular safety inspections over the past several years, consistently passing rodent inspections between 2019 and 2025, and maintaining a clean record of bedbug infestations with zero reported cases in the past five years (2019-2024). The building's maintenance history reveals several fire safety concerns in 2018, including violations related to fire escape obstructions from flower pots on multiple floors and issues with the rear balcony fire escape.

These were accompanied by violations regarding rust and paint maintenance on fire escape components, though all these violations were certified as closed in February 2023. The building had additional safety notice requirements in 2018 that were addressed, including posting gas leak procedures and smoke/carbon monoxide detector requirements in common areas. Recent complaints from 2023-2025 have been relatively minimal, with two safety-related issues in 2023 concerning a damaged safety net/guard rail and an inadequate fence, though these complaints had limited follow-up.

An illegal vent/exhaust complaint from 2025 was investigated but found no violation. The most recent building permit issuance on record is from July 2020 for an unspecified work type (EW). While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, the property has shown consistent attention to addressing violations when identified, particularly in the past two years, with all 2018 violations being responded to and closed appropriately.
