344 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
344 East 9th Street is a 20-unit, 5-story old law tenement building located in the East Village, built in 1920 and currently owned by Deodat Raghubir. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns focusing on rodent activity and pest control. Between 2023 and 2025, there were multiple inspections showing rat activity, though recent inspections in May 2025 and November 2024 passed, indicating some improvements in rodent management.
Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has documented various unsanitary conditions, including mold (2024), pest infestations (notably in 2021 affecting apartment 20), and sewage issues (2018). The building's maintenance record shows some improvements over time, with the most recent complaints being resolved relatively quickly - for instance, a mailbox issue in early 2025 and mold problem in mid-2024, both of which were addressed within a few days of reporting. The property has undergone several inspections and complaint investigations by different agencies, including the Department of Buildings, which received complaints about work without a permit in early 2023, though no violations were found upon inspection.
The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with yearly reports since 2019 showing zero cases. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues typical of older NYC properties, recent patterns suggest better responsiveness to complaints and efforts to address violations, particularly regarding rodent control. The most recent environmental inspections show passing results, indicating improvements in pest management practices, though occasional failures for "other reasons" in 2024 suggest ongoing challenges in maintaining ideal conditions.
