415 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 12-unit, 5-story old-law tenement building at 415 East 9th Street in the East Village, built in 1920 and currently owned by Doreen Alderman, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, between May 2024 and June 2024, the building had documented issues with water leaks and mold, though no violations were issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) following inspections. The building has a concerning history of gas-related issues, particularly in July 2018, when multiple complaints were filed regarding cooking gas problems, some resulting in violations.

Additionally, there were violations related to window guards, door self-closing mechanisms, and gas supply issues in Apartment 4 documented in August 2018, with several of these violations remaining open as of the most recent inspections. The building underwent multiple inspections for rodent activity throughout 2023-2025, with consistent reports of rat activity in September 2024, July 2024, and December 2024, though some inspections also showed compliance with bait applications. Recent bedbug reports indicate one incident in 2022-2023, but no infestations or re-infestations reported in the following two years.

The property has had various other maintenance issues documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints, including a notable heat/hot water issue in 2018 that was labeled as an emergency. The building's maintenance history also includes complaints about unsanitary conditions, including mold, and various repair needs such as wall plastering and appliance issues, particularly during 2018 when multiple complaints were filed over a short period. While some of these issues have been resolved, the frequency and nature of the complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
