500 11th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

500 11th Street is a four-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in South Slope and owned by Isaac Wolhendler. Built in 1899, this historic structure has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns centered around plumbing and heating systems. In late 2023, there were separate incidents involving a sink issue and a heating problem, both of which were resolved according to HPD reports.

The building has a documented pattern of heating system failures, with similar heat and hot water complaints recorded in November 2023, January 2021, and December 2020. Other notable incidents include electrical problems (no lighting) in December 2019, door issues in July 2019, and waste management concerns in December 2020. The building's maintenance record reveals several unaddressed violations and compliance issues.

As of 2020, there are multiple open violations related to safety and regulatory compliance, including concerns about encumbrances in public hall areas, inadequate electrical service to public lighting fixtures, and missing required safety signage and certificates in common areas. The building has maintained a consistent record of proper bedbug reporting over the years, with no documented infestations in the most recent three annual filings (2021-2024). Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with the most recent inspection in February 2024 passing, but previous inspections in 2023 and 2013 indicating rodent activity or failed compliance for other reasons. The property has also maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2024, consistently showing zero infested or re-infested units.
