626 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 5-story, 12-unit tenement at 626 East 9th Street in the East Village, built in 1910 and currently owned by Mary Domowicz, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, a water leak complaint was filed in September 2024 but could not be inspected by HPD due to lack of access.

The building has faced recurring administrative challenges, with multiple violations related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2023, though the most recent bedbug report from December 2023 indicates zero infested units. There have also been issues with low-pressure inspection filings, with an active violation remaining from April 2023, while previous violations from June 2023 were dismissed. The property has maintained consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all evaluations conducted between 2019 and 2025, including the most recent inspections in July 2025.

An environmental violation from 2019 regarding a detached cornice section resulted in a penalty, though records indicate this was resolved. The building's permit history from 2018 through 2019 shows multiple permits being issued, primarily for plumbing and electrical work, suggesting regular maintenance and improvement activities are being undertaken. While there have been several violations and service requests over the past few years, the majority appear to be administrative in nature, with no recent patterns suggesting persistent habitability concerns.
