11 East 30th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

11 East 30th Street is a 5-story, 4-unit residential building built in 1910 and currently owned by Phillip Shin. The property has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2024 and 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD indicating building-wide problems. From April to June 2025 alone, there were at least five documented complaints about inadequate heat or hot water systems, with corresponding violations issued and repeated attempts by HPD to gain access for verification purposes.

The building also has several open Class C violations from 2024 related to hot water availability and self-closing doors in crucial areas. Earlier issues include significant safety and maintenance concerns documented in 2020-2021, such as problems with the boiler system, including an ECB violation for failure to post boiler access notice in 2021 that resulted in a $625 penalty. The property underwent multiple regulatory inspections revealing various code violations, including one for improper fire stopping in the boiler room, problematic egress door functionality, and inadequate ceiling heights in certain areas.

More recently, in 2023, there were violations issued for failing to file low pressure inspections from 2018 and 2019, though these were dismissed later that year. Despite these challenges, the building has successfully passed rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2021, suggesting effective pest management when compared to other concerns. While repairs and improvements appear to have been attempted, as indicated by various permits issued in 2018 and 2020, many violations remain open, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges.
