770 11th Avenue, Manhattan

Big Hell's Kitchen tower with active texture — heat, illegal-hotel calls, and an open mold case on a penthouse.

864-unit 2009 tower at 11th and 54th — Related built it as the rental half of MiMA, then sold it April 2023 to a Mercedes Realty-led consortium for $100M+. The operator running it today has been here two years, not fifteen. Three things to know:

Open mold case on a penthouse — confirm your unit isn't underneath it. Three open HPD violations, all on penthouse B. A September 2025 plaster cluster was upgraded to Class B (hazardous) in January 2026 after visible mold in the private hallway ceiling. Still open. On a high-rise this usually means a roof or terrace-membrane leak migrating down.

Illegal-hotel enforcement keeps showing up. Six SPIT (short-term-rental enforcement) complaints mid-2024 through January 2026, plus an illegal-conversion complaint and a work-without-permit on an occupied multiple dwelling. All closed without violations — but the volume itself is the signal in an 864-unit tower. Often means neighbors complaining about transient hallway traffic.

Distributed live complaints, but heat and elevator are worth asking about. 18 HPD complaints in 24 months across heat, plumbing, leaks, and unsanitary — a low per-unit rate for 864 units, but 3 heat calls and an open May 2026 elevator complaint about 'multiple devices on property' (i.e. more than one car down at once) both vary by riser and bank.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• ​4 Encampment 311s and an Outdoor Dining street-zone-blocked call cluster on the 11th Ave/54th corner. The building isn't generating these; if you're touring a low-floor unit on the avenue side, the sidewalk is the read.
• One odd structural call — October 2024 DOB complaint flagged 'building shaking/vibrating/structural stability.' Closed with no follow-up, but worth naming to the broker given the tower's age and scale.
• Bike-clutter signal — 7 combined Abandoned Bike / Bike Rack 311s in 24 months. Reads as a heavily-used bike room without enough turnover policing, not a hazard.
