533 11th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10036

The 58-story residential building at 533 11th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Janelle Allende and constructed in 2005, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past year that warrant attention. As of July 2025, there are three open complaints: an unsanitary condition related to garbage/recycling storage (opened June 2025), a water leak (opened May 2025), and window frame issues (two separate complaints opened January 2025). The building has also struggled with pest management, including multiple reports of bedbug infestations between 2021 and 2025, with the most recent report in February 2025 indicating one infested unit that was subsequently treated.

In 2024, a series of violations were documented regarding self-closing door issues in multiple public hall locations throughout the building, though these were marked as closed after inspection. Additional health-related concerns have been recorded, including a smoking/vaping violation (May 2025), indoor air quality issues (February 2025), and various pest-related complaints throughout 2024. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with window integrity, as evidenced by multiple open complaints regarding window frames.

There have also been periods of sanitary concerns, including reports of mold, chemical odors, and pest problems. While some complaints have been resolved, such as a 2023-2024 ceiling repair issue and multiple pest violations, several current open complaints and the building's relatively recent construction date raise questions about ongoing maintenance practices. The property has undergone various inspections and received official notifications from both HPD and DOHMH regarding these issues, indicating oversight by city agencies, though many complaints remain unresolved as of the current date.
