226 West 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

226 West 11th Street, owned by John Rouse, is a four-story, seven-unit residential building in the West Village, constructed in 1838 and currently classified as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heating and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in early 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The property has undergone multiple inspections for compliance with New York City regulations, including Local Law 188/17, with no violations noted during recent inspections in July 2023. An annual bedbug report filed in 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023 indicated zero infestations, following a consistent pattern of no reported infestations in previous years. The building's maintenance history shows attention to rodent control, with all inspections from 2016 through 2025 passing successfully.

Two notable violations were recorded in 2023: a failure to file the 2021 External Low-Pressure Inspection report (which was later dismissed), and a requirement to submit an annual bedbug report, which has since been complied with. The property has experienced occasional issues with indoor air quality, with a December 2020 complaint resulting in an advisory to the owner, and a heating system failure in 2023 that remains unresolved due to access issues during inspection. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code Complaints and Violations have been recorded, though most have been closed without significant penalties.
