422 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
The 5-story, 10-unit tenement building at 422 East 9th Street, owned by Steven Croman, has experienced persistent rodent issues in recent years, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing continued rat activity despite baiting efforts throughout 2025. The building, constructed in 1900, has a documented history of maintenance and habitability challenges, particularly in 2021, when there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building and individual apartments, along with problems related to water leaks, door frames, and various unsanitary conditions including pests. Several of these complaints could not be inspected due to access issues, though some violations were later addressed.
The building has maintained an apparently effective pest control program for bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. More recent health inspection records from 2023-2024 show multiple complaints regarding food establishment conditions. The building underwent various inspections and received administrative closure of multiple complaints, indicating that some issues were addressed to regulatory standards.
The Department of Buildings and Housing Preservation and Development records show both emergency and non-emergency complaints in 2021 regarding heat, water, and general maintenance, with several violations related to building systems and maintenance requirements. A 2020 illegal conversion complaint was closed due to inspector access issues. However, the most recent inspections in 2024-2025 demonstrate ongoing rodent control efforts, with the building passing recent compliance inspections even as rat activity continues to be a recurring issue, as evidenced by multiple bait applications and compliance checks throughout 2024-2025.
