608 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

608 East 9th Street is a 6-story, 24-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the East Village, built in 1910 and currently owned by Noe Diaz. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during a cluster of complaints in June 2023, including unsanitary conditions related to pests, multiple violations regarding water leaks, ceiling and floor maintenance concerns, and refrigerator issues.

Most notably, as of April 2024, there are still open violations concerning bedbug reporting requirements and several specific issues in Apartment 24, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, plaster surfaces, pest infestation, water leakage, and smoke detector maintenance. The building has also faced historical compliance challenges, with notable incidents in 2019 involving illegal occupancy issues and unauthorized basement apartment concerns, though these were eventually resolved. The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025.

Recent building violations from August 2024 involve a fence height compliance issue and general maintenance concerns, with active penalties totaling $3,625. Prior issues regarding emergency egress blockage and construction work without permits were documented, though many historical violations have been resolved. The building has undergone regular inspections and, while most recent complaints have been addressed, several open violations remain as of 2024-2025 that require attention, particularly those related to safety features and maintenance standards in Apartment 24.
