11 East 32nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

11 East 32nd Street is a 12-story, 80-unit residential building located in Midtown, owned by John Ilibassi and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed by residents through April 2025, though inspections were often unable to gain access to verify conditions.

Other maintenance concerns have included plumbing problems in November 2024, and the Department of Buildings recorded a defective boiler complaint in April 2025, which resulted in no violations upon inspection. The building has a history of various safety and maintenance violations, including mechanical issues with the elevator (2023), concerns about building shaking (2024), and problems with emergency exit doors (2020). The property has undergone several inspections and maintenance requirements over the years, including regular bedbug reporting (showing no infestations since 2019), and multiple rodent control treatments in 2023, with inspections revealing rat activity.

Building violations have included issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in 2020 (PHB apartment), door closure mechanisms in 2021-2022, and electrical safety concerns in 2023. Environmental Control Board violations from 2020-2023 indicate various safety and compliance issues, including a tampered electrical brake monitoring switch (2023) and several instances of failure to comply with correction orders, though all were resolved with penalties paid. The building's recent history shows ongoing challenges with basic services and maintenance compliance, particularly regarding heating systems and building access for inspections, while maintaining an active record of addressing safety violations over time.
