711 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065

711 Madison Avenue, a 5-story, 9-unit residential building constructed in 1877 and currently owned by Stephen Elbaz, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. In 2022, the building had multiple complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding various maintenance problems, including a slow water leak, window frame issues, wall and ceiling conditions, radiator problems, sink concerns, and intercom system malfunction.

These complaints were all closed without inspection access being granted, but remain noteworthy due to their potential impact on resident comfort and safety. The building has faced ongoing compliance challenges, particularly regarding required annual bedbug reporting, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, and 2023, though recent filings from late 2023 and 2024 indicate no reported infestations during the previous periods.

More recently, there are multiple active Department of Buildings violations related to failure to file external low pressure inspection reports for 2019-2023, totaling four separate violations issued between April and June 2023. Additionally, there was an environmental control board violation from January 2022 concerning failure to comply with commissioner's orders, resulting in a $12,500 penalty, which appears to remain active. The building has generally maintained good rodent inspection results, passing multiple annual inspections between 2011 and 2019.
