611 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10022

The 7-story, 23-unit residential building at 611 Madison Avenue, owned by Zohar Bendov and constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable health and maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning are the recurring food establishment-related complaints, with multiple incidents reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) between 2022 and 2025, including issues with rodent conditions, food temperature, worker hygiene, and toilet facilities.

A significant cluster of complaints occurred in 2024, with particular attention needed to the October 2024 rodent-related violation that required follow-up inspections. The building has maintained an active Bedbug Reporting history from 2020-2024, with all reports showing zero infested or re-infested units, though a Housing Maintenance Code violation for failing to file an annual bedbug report was recorded in February 2022. The property's infrastructure and safety systems appear to be generally well-maintained, with recent inspections showing passed compliance results for rodent inspections in December 2024, and two Tenant Safety Inspections in 2021 also showing compliance.

A violation related to the failure to file a 2019 External Low Pressure Inspection was issued in June 2023, though this was later dismissed in July. Permit records show regular maintenance activity, with two electrical work permits issued in 2021 and one in 2018, indicating ongoing investment in building systems. While the building has experienced its share of health regulation challenges, particularly concerning food establishment conditions, the historical bedbug treatment records demonstrate effective management of pest control when issues arise.
