229 East 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

229 East 11th Street is a 6-story, 24-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Jeffrey Pikus. The property has experienced recurring sanitation issues in recent months, with multiple open complaints as of mid-2025 regarding garbage/recycling storage problems and a current unsanitary condition involving pests, dating from April 2025. There have been significant heating system problems reported throughout 2025, including several emergency complaints about heat and hot water issues in January and February, though most of these complaints were closed without clear resolution confirmation.

The building has seen persistent rodent activity, with multiple complaints recorded in early 2025, though recent inspections in July 2025 have passed. The property has undergone various repairs and faced several violations in recent years. In late 2023, violations were issued and subsequently closed for apartment 23 regarding missing escutcheon plates and required painting of metal components.

Earlier violations from 2022 addressed water leaks and roof issues affecting the same apartment. More serious concerns arose in 2024 regarding construction work, with multiple violations for scaffold-related issues including unauthorized work and insufficient compliance with approved drawings, resulting in at least one active Environmental Control Board violation as of 2024 with a $2,500 penalty. The building's facade maintenance compliance has also been questioned, with a 2021 violation remaining active regarding the required Cycle 8B report of critical examination documentation. Despite these challenges, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past seven reporting periods from 2019 to 2024.
