428 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
The 5-story, 15-unit tenement building at 428 East 9th Street in the East Village, owned by James West, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing health-related violations regarding the proper filing of annual bedbug reports, with open violations recorded in 2023 and 2024.
The building has also faced substantial safety concerns, particularly in 2019, when multiple violations were issued related to door safety (in Apartments 1, 3, 4, and 8), stair tread security, and improper floor signage. More concerning were violations regarding fire safety systems, means of egress, and illegal occupancy issues, with penalties totaling $10,000 in July 2021 for failure to comply with corrections related to these 2019 violations. The property underwent investigations in 2021 regarding possible illegal conversion, though inspections on September 2, 2021, found no violations at that time.
Recent years have seen the building maintain rodent-free status, passing all inspections between 2019 and 2025, and the most recent external low-pressure inspection violation from 2024 was dismissed. While the building has made progress in some areas, including regular rodent inspections and completing certain permits, the recurring bedbug reporting violations and past fire safety concerns suggest ongoing management compliance challenges. The building's history includes multiple instances of non-compliance with correction orders, as evidenced by Environmental Control Board violations in 2021 related to previous citations from 2019.
