249 West 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

249 West 11th Street is a 5-story, 16-unit residential building located in the West Village, built in 1901 and currently owned by Kenneth Nagin. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concern being an open complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions filed in February 2025. This building has a history of pest-related problems, including an emergency unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests in June 2019, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access for inspection at that time.

The property has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted between 2016 and 2024, demonstrating effective pest control measures. The building has encountered multiple compliance challenges in 2019, including three separate complaints on June 15 regarding illegal hotel rooms, electrical wiring issues, and unsanitary conditions. While the Department of Buildings was unable to gain access to inspect the illegal hotel room complaint, an Oath violation for illegal activity was served on July 29.

Additionally, there was one resolved Environmental Control Board violation related to a contractor's failure to provide required notice prior to starting work. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any of the annual filings from 2019 through 2024. Recent inspections indicate that while some maintenance issues persist, particularly regarding garbage storage, the building generally meets required health and safety standards, as demonstrated by the regular passing of rodent inspections and the absence of bedbug infestations.
