725 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

725 East 9th Street is a 7-story, 36-unit Class A residential building constructed in 2001 in Manhattan's East Village, currently owned by 725-727 East 9th Street Realty LLC. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints in 2025 (April, March, and January), 2023 (January), and 2021 (December), though inspections in some cases were either unable to be completed or found no violations.

Additionally, there were plumbing-related concerns in March 2025, a door issue in January 2025, and a sanitary condition complaint related to pests in May 2020. The building faced significant concerns in 2019 regarding illegal hotel room usage, resulting in three violations related to safety systems and unauthorized transient use in Apartment 6E, with penalties totaling $5,000, though these were resolved by December 2020. Recent inspections for pests and rodents show some fluctuations in conditions; while detailed reporting of bedbug infestations shows sporadic incidents between 2019 and 2024, with the most recent filing in December 2024 showing no current infestations.

Rodent inspections have generally resulted in passing grades, though a rat activity finding was recorded in April 2024. The most recent building-wide heating/hot water complaints in April 2025 were particularly significant as they appeared to be building-wide issues affecting multiple units. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges over time, particularly regarding essential services like heat and hot water, though many complaints have been addressed through repairs or inspections, sometimes requiring tenants to refile if conditions persisted.
