609 West 111th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

609 West 111th Street is a 6-story, 51-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1906 and currently owned by 605 611 W 111th Street Realty Corp. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with three separate emergency complaints in March 2025 and another in May 2025. Approximately five units have been identified as lacking heat and hot water during this period, though services were reportedly restored before HPD inspections could be completed.

The building's safety systems have been a concern, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in 2018-2019, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures. The property has also faced structural concerns, particularly with broken marble treads on the stairways which were documented in 2018. More recent inspections indicate some improvements in maintenance, as evidenced by multiple passed rodent inspections between 2017 and 2025, and no significant infestations reported in the last three bedbug reports (2022-2024).

An illegal conversion complaint was investigated in June 2025 but access was denied during both inspection attempts. The building's violation history shows several open violations from 2019 related to documentation requirements, including bedbug reporting and signage for housing information guides. However, there are more recent permits issued in 2018-2019 for electrical and plumbing work, suggesting ongoing maintenance and repair efforts by the property management.
