518 West 111th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

518 West 111th Street is a 6-story, 32-unit residential building constructed in 1909, currently owned by David Greenberg. The property has recently experienced maintenance challenges, with two notable issues reported in January 2025: an open water leak complaint (damp spot) and an apartment-specific heat/hot water emergency, though the latter was reported as corrected after HPD contact.

The building has a history of structural and maintenance concerns dating back to 2021, when violations were issued regarding exterior facade maintenance, including damaged window sills and fire escape deterioration, with penalties totaling $2,500. Additionally, there are unresolved issues from 2019 regarding the failure to file mandatory energy benchmarking reports. On a more positive note, the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2021 to 2024, consistently reporting zero infested or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management.

Recent rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025 show overall compliance, with only the first two inspections in late 2017 and early 2018 showing rat activity. The property has also addressed previous bedbug reporting violations, as evidenced by the 2024 annual bedbug report being filed, though there was a separate violation for failing to file the annual report in April 2024 that was subsequently closed. While the building has had recent maintenance issues, the consistent passing of rodent inspections and effective bedbug management suggest attention to pest control, though residents should monitor the status of the open water leak and heating issues reported earlier this year.
