323 West 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The five-story, 39-unit residential building at 323 West 11th Street in the West Village, owned by Harry Kabashi, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly regarding building maintenance and resident safety. Most notably, in 2024, there were multiple emergency reports of mold in apartment 5R, with current violations open as of May 2024 related to mold conditions and defective safety devices. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, with three separate complaints between 2019-2020 reporting these critical service failures, though systems were reportedly restored following complaints.

Recent developments indicate continued maintenance challenges, including a food poisoning incident in late 2024 that prompted a health department investigation, and ongoing issues with door safety and building security as evidenced by multiple violations related to self-closing doors in 2024. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring issues with both building systems and safety compliance. While the property has maintained active pest control efforts, with rodent inspections consistently passing as of 2024, other areas show concerning patterns.

These include multiple emergency plumbing and heating complaints in 2019, and a significant safety violation in 2023 regarding work without proper permits. The building's elevator system was also subject to a violation in 2024, as evidenced by complaints about door safety. It's worth noting that despite these challenges, the building's management has generally responded to inspections and violations, though many issues remain open or were only recently closed, suggesting ongoing maintenance needs and compliance requirements. The property's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance with reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the past three years.
