280 West 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
The five-story, five-unit building at 280 West 11th Street in the West Village, constructed in 1818 and currently owned by Benjamin Falk, has faced persistent pest control challenges in recent years. The property has documented rodent activity with multiple inspections showing varying results between 2022 and 2025, including initial rat activity in March 2023, May 2023, and most recently in March 2025, though it passed its most recent compliance inspection in April 2025.
The building has also had recurring issues with bedbug report filings under the Housing Maintenance Code, with open violations in 2023 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules. The property has a notable history of elevator-related violations, with an active ECB violation from January 2020 regarding an unregistered elevator device that resulted in a $2,500 penalty.
Additional violations were recorded in September 2020 for failing to certify correction of an immediately hazardous ECB violation related to the elevator. Despite these significant maintenance challenges, the building's bedbug reporting history between 2018 and 2021 showed no affected units, with all reported units being free of infestation during that period. The property has undergone multiple bait applications for rodent control in 2023, with four rounds of baiting specifically noted in June 2023, indicating an ongoing effort to address pest issues.
