111 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027

111 Morningside Avenue is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Stanley Celius. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly during the winter months of 2023-2024, with multiple complaints registered through HPD, both for individual apartments and the entire building. These complaints often resulted in either no access for inspection or confirmation that issues had been resolved.

Other significant maintenance concerns include multiple violations and complaints related to safety systems, with Class B and C violations regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, pest infestations (notably roaches in Apartment 1A), and ceiling maintenance issues. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of infrastructure challenges, with plumbing issues, water leaks, and electrical problems documented in late 2023. Recent violations from 2024 include concerns about self-closing doors in Apartment 3B.

The property has undergone construction activity that generated numerous Department of Buildings violations related to scaffolding and sidewalk shed safety, with multiple active ECB violations resulting in substantial penalties for inadequate safety measures. The building's environmental control board issues from 2023-2024 show significant concerns about construction safety compliance and debris management. Additionally, recent rodent activity has been consistently documented through inspections in 2023-2025, suggesting ongoing pest control challenges despite some bait application efforts. The building has maintained a bedbug-free record according to official reporting since 2019.
