635 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 6-story, 24-unit residential building at 635 East 9th Street, owned by Paul Stallings, has experienced persistent heating issues over the past two years, with multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints filed between December 2024 and January 2025. These complaints, primarily concerning apartment-specific problems, have typically been closed after inspections or responses indicating that systems were restored or conditions were not found to violate housing laws.

The building has also faced some concerning safety issues, particularly regarding fire escape access, with an open violation from September 2023 related to obstructing bars or unlawful gates from a window to the fire escape in Apartment 14 on the 4th story, and multiple self-closing door issues at the building entrance and other locations documented as violations. Recent history shows relatively good pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years, though there was one documented case in 2020-2021 that was resolved.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2023-2025, consistently passing these checks, though multiple bait applications were recorded in late 2022 and early 2023. The property has experienced some maintenance challenges, as evidenced by several open violations from a September 2023 inspection, including issues with self-closing doors and discrepancies in door function requirements at various locations. Past complaints regarding electrical wiring and possible illegal hotel room operation were recorded but closed without violations being established.
