27 West 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
27 West 11th Street is a 6-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1889, currently owned by Shephard Morgan and classified as an Old Law Single Room Occupancy property. The building has experienced several recurring issues over recent years, with the most significant and recent concern being a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in June 2025, which resulted in identified violations requiring follow-up inspections. The property has a documented history of pest-related problems, with unsanitary conditions reported in multiple years (2022, 2019) where HPD was unable to gain access for inspections. In 2021, there were notable concerns regarding heat and hot water access affecting the entire building, though similar access issues prevented inspections.
Multiple maintenance issues were reported in 2022 and 2021, including problems with walls, ceilings, floors, and doors, though these were generally addressed through subsequent inspections. The building's safety record includes several notable violations and inspections. In 2021, violations were found regarding building code compliance, including the need for maintenance of sprinkler systems, fire safety notices, and repairs in specific units (notably 1E0 and 5E7). Tenant safety inspections in 2023 and 2024 resulted in either no violations or Oath violations.
The facade and building safety issues were particularly prominent in 2022, with multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to facade safety and contractor compliance, leading to financial penalties. Recent inspections as of 2025 showed rat activity, though this follows several consecutive passed inspections in previous years. Bedbug reports show some previous infestation clusters (notably in 2022 with two infested units), though the most recent 2024 report indicates no current issues. The building has undergone regular permit issuances for maintenance work, with the most recent permits issued in September 2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance activity.
