511 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10018
The 12-story, 108-unit building at 511 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Armando Velasquez and constructed in 2008, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints filed between October 2024 and June 2025. While many of these complaints were closed after inspections, they generally involved HPD's inability to access units for verification.
The building has also faced recent sanitation challenges, with open complaints regarding an emergency sewage issue and unsanitary garbage/recycling conditions as of June 2025. A significant infrastructure concern was documented in the form of a sewage odor complaint in June 2025, to which the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene responded.
The property has a history of maintenance and compliance issues dating back to 2022, including violations related to water temperature controls (specifically concerning excessive hot water in Apartment 9D), mold conditions, electrical wiring problems, and plumbing deficiencies. Multiple Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violations from 2021-2023 suggest ongoing challenges with building modifications and safety systems, including issues with a second-floor terrace bar/restaurant that was constructed without proper permits and allegedly installed non-code compliant drainage and ventilation systems. However, the building has maintained an active rodent control program, passing inspections between 2017 and 2024, and has shown consistent bedbug-free reporting, with no infestations recorded in the past five filing periods from 2019 to 2024.
