536 West 111th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

536 West 111th Street is an 8-story, 40-unit residential building built in 1910, currently owned by Katje Hilken. The building has recently experienced heat and hot water issues, with a significant complaint in January 2025 affecting the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored during the HPD inspection. The property has a documented history of rodent presence, with complaints recorded in 2024 and 2021, though recent inspections (2023-2025) have shown consistent passing results with no active violations.

A notable bedbug infestation occurred in 2019, but subsequent annual reports from 2020 through 2024 show zero infested units, indicating effective eradication procedures. The building underwent construction work in 2020 that led to several safety compliance issues, including inadequate tenant protection plans and unqualified personnel on a suspended scaffold, resulting in fines. These were subsequently resolved.

Multiple Department of Buildings permits for emergency work were issued between 2019 and 2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance activities. While there have been various 311 complaints regarding the building's conditions over the years, including an unsanitary pest-related complaint in 2021, most inspections conducted by relevant authorities (HPD, DOHMH) have resulted in either no violations being found or the issues being resolved promptly. The building's management has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with no current infestation issues reported, and recent housing maintenance code inspections have shown adherence to regulatory requirements.
