268 West 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The six-story, 48-unit building at 268 West 11th Street in the West Village, built in 1924 and owned by Gabriele Suleiman, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is currently an ongoing investigation regarding construction lead dust entering an apartment, reported in October 2023.

The building has also faced problems with heat and hot water distribution, with a complaint filed in October 2022 that could not be verified due to lack of access. Earlier maintenance issues included wall paint/plaster problems in 2023 and violations in apartment 6H regarding bathroom faucet leaks and door self-closing mechanisms, both of which were certified as corrected in 2019. The building has maintained a record of passing regular rodent inspections since 2016, suggesting effective pest management practices, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past eight years (2018-2025).

Recent administrative compliance issues include a 2023 violation related to failure to file an external low-pressure inspection, though this was subsequently dismissed. The property has undergone regular maintenance work, evidenced by multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2020, covering various repairs and improvements, including plumbing and electrical work. While there have been several maintenance complaints over the years, most have been addressed and closed by relevant authorities, indicating ongoing management attention to building maintenance and tenant concerns.
