55 West 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
The 9-story, 87-unit New Law Tenement building at 55 West 11th Street in Greenwich Village, built in 1924 and owned by Stephen Danacker, has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues over the past two years. Most recently, in March 2025, there were heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building, continuing a pattern evident in previous months, including December 2024 and multiple incidents in 2023. The building has also faced plumbing-related challenges, particularly with steam pipes and radiators, with complaints registered in December 2022 and January 2023, though inspections for these issues did not result in violations.
A notable boiler issue occurred in January 2023, with a defective/inoperative system prompting an inspection. The property has undergone several important inspections and received various violations. Two tenant safety inspections were conducted in April 2025, and a January 2023 boiler inspection led to an Oath Violation. Environmental Control Board violations from 2023 and 2022 were resolved, including issues with a leaking king valve and emergency lighting defects.
The building's façade maintenance has been a recurring concern, with violations noted in 2018 regarding water penetration and deterioration of decorative elements. On the pest management front, the building has documented three bedbug incidents between 2022 and 2024, with the most recent case reported in December 2024 involving one unit. Rodent inspections conducted regularly from 2017 through 2024 show consistent compliance, with the most recent inspection in August 2024 passing successfully. The property has maintained proper bedbug reporting compliance over the past five years, with quarterly reporting showing appropriate remediation actions.
