333 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

333 East 9th Street is a five-story, nine-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the East Village, owned by Dana Lowey and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints from 2022 through early 2025, most recently in January 2025. These service requests have been consistently addressed and closed by HPD, though the pattern suggests ongoing maintenance concerns with the building's heating system.

In addition to the heating issues, there have been several incidents of water-related problems, including a damp spot and unsanitary mold conditions reported in October 2023, and plumbing issues in February 2023 that resulted in violations. The building underwent multiple door-related safety violations in 2022-2023, including problems with self-closing doors at entrances and vestibules, which were eventually certified as corrected. The property has maintained a good record in recent years with annual bedbug inspections showing zero infested units since at least 2020, and consistent passing grades on rodent inspections throughout 2021-2025.

Recent complaints in 2025 regarding construction work resulted in multiple stop work orders and Oath Violations, though these were subsequently rescinded. The building's violation history includes several instances of non-compliance with safety regulations, particularly in 2018 regarding sprinkler system requirements and gas piping, though these were ultimately resolved. The property has been proactive in addressing maintenance issues as evidenced by the timely responses to 311 service requests, though the frequency of heating system complaints suggests this remains an area requiring attention.
