11 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10014

This five-story, 8-unit residential building located at 11 8th Avenue in the West Village was constructed in 1845 and is currently owned by Justin Malekan. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular concerns regarding heat and hot water systems. Multiple heat/hot water complaints were filed between 2018 and 2022, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. In 2019, a violation was issued specifically for inadequate hot water in apartment 4B.

The building has also faced water-related challenges, with multiple heavy flow water leak complaints in late 2018 resulting in violations, and a general water leak complaint in 2020 for which violations were issued. More recent history shows some improvements in building conditions. The building has passed all rodent inspections since 2020, with the most recent inspections in 2023-2025 showing compliance. The building's bedbug reporting history (from 2021 to 2024) indicates no infested units or re-infestations during the reporting periods.

The most recent significant complaint was filed in 2024 regarding work without a permit, though this complaint was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. The property has undergone regular inspections and has addressed various maintenance issues, including violations related to building safety features such as the fire-retardant ceiling in the public hall. In 2020, violations were issued regarding signage requirements and concrete repairs in the front court stairs, and multiple non-compliance issues related to storage of bicycles in public areas were documented. While some recurring issues have been noted, particularly regarding water systems, the building has maintained compliance with rodent control requirements and has regularly filed required bedbug reports showing no infestation problems.
