9 Delancey Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

9 Delancey Street, a 6-story New Law Tenement built in 1900 and containing 15 units, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years under current ownership by Ning Huang. Most notably, the building faced significant heating and hot water issues in December 2024, with multiple emergency complaints from tenants about the entire building's systems.

During the same period, there were multiple complaints about various structural and maintenance issues including water leaks, mold, and problems with ceilings, floors, and walls - many of which HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues. More recently, in March 2025, there was a complaint regarding indoor air quality and dust from construction work, which prompted an advisory to the property management. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing concerns about its infrastructure, with several open violations as of 2025 related to fire escape maintenance, including issues with drop ladders and doors.

Two separate violations from June 2023 remain active regarding the failure to file required External Low Pressure Inspections from 2019 and 2021. There has also been a recurring rodent issue, with multiple inspections and bait applications throughout 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 have shown passing results. The building's history of violations includes concerns about bedbug reporting requirements, though these appear to be related to administrative compliance rather than active infestations.
