617 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 6-story, 19-unit building at 617 East 9th Street in the East Village, owned by Adam Weinstein and constructed in 2008, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. As of April 2025, there are three open plumbing complaints regarding basins/sinks and water supply issues, along with an open heat/hot water complaint. Between March and April 2025, the building faced multiple heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with some violations issued following inspections.

Earlier plumbing issues included a slow water leak and door-related problems in February 2025, both of which resulted in violations. The building has a history of elevator maintenance concerns, with multiple complaints filed between 2019 and 2023 regarding the single elevator service and no alternate service, though most were either closed without violation or referred to the NYC Housing Authority. There are also several open violations from September 2024 concerning the first-story public hall ceiling and issues in Apartment 301 regarding broken plaster surfaces.

A notable active violation from March 2020 pertains to the rooftop and balcony walls, which were observed in disrepair with various types of cracking. Despite these maintenance challenges, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2020 and shows no current bedbug infestations, with the last reported cases occurring in 2019 and 2021, both of which were eradicated. The current outstanding issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water supply, heating, and plumbing systems, while the building has generally maintained compliance with health and safety inspections, including recent successful rodent inspections. The property has documented multiple housing code violations over the years, though many have been resolved, and there is regular monitoring of building conditions through various city agencies.
