211 West 28th Street, Manhattan

82 open violations on a block with notable street activity.

The building holds a heavy load of 82 open violations, a high number for a pre-war property with 37 residential units. While it avoids the worst housing court flags, the unresolved filings suggest a slow pace for basic maintenance. Three things to know:

61 heat and hot water complaints point to a recurring system struggle. The building has logged 61 tenant complaints specifically about heat and hot water. While there are no open court battles over heat on the record, the volume points to seasonal boiler struggles that repeatedly leave residents in the cold.

10 food establishment venting complaints on the corridor segment. The immediate three-block corridor logged 10 restaurant and food establishment ventilation complaints this past year, with the most recent filed on July 3, 2026. Commercial venting issues often signal localized odor bleed and HVAC draft problems that directly affect the residential units directly above.

Active street-level congestion steps from the entrance. Our three-block window logged 91 encampment complaints last year, with the most recent filed on July 14, 2026. This street footprint is highly active, bringing typical midtown-adjacent street life right up to the building's front door.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 77 homeless-person assistance requests in the corridor last year, showing high service-outreach volume on the surrounding blocks
• 116 for-hire vehicle complaints logged last year within three blocks, pointing to commercial passenger pick-up activity
• 6 separate short-term rental enforcement sweeps logged in the immediate three-block corridor over the past 12 months
