224 West 11th Street is a 3-story former residential building located in the West Village, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Andrew Jones. The property has multiple ongoing violations that raise significant concerns about building maintenance and resident quality of life. Most notably, there are four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024.

The building also has numerous Department of Buildings violations, with eight active violations as of September 2024 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2023. Additionally, there are serious rodent control issues documented through the New York City Department of Health's inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing rat activity in April 2025 and a "failed for other reasons" designation in March 2025. The building underwent multiple baiting treatments between March and July 2023, all requiring further action, and inspections in 2024 also showed rat activity in April.

Compared to other buildings, this property has experienced persistent pest control challenges, as evidenced by the frequency of rodent-related inspections and the pattern of violations. The building's documented history reveals ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding pest management and compliance with required inspections. The persistence of these violations over multiple years suggests systematic issues with maintenance and regulatory compliance, which may impact resident living conditions and safety.
