331 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
331 East 9th Street is a 5-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the East Village, built in 1900 and currently owned by Dana Lowey. The property has experienced recurring heating and water issues in recent months, with multiple complaints filed through 311 and the Housing Maintenance Code regarding heat/hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building between December 2024 and January 2025. The building is currently dealing with open issues related to the intercom/buzzer system, with two complaints from December 2024 still showing as unresolved.
The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, including several violations issued between 2022 and 2024 regarding unauthorized electrical and plumbing work, with fines ranging from $2,500 to $5,000. In October 2024, multiple Housing Maintenance Code Violations were recorded, including rodent infestation issues in the rear yard and problems with garbage storage areas. The property has also experienced various infrastructure challenges, with multiple heating system complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, as well as plumbing issues. Importantly, the building's bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no infestations, and recent rodent inspections in 2025 have passed, indicating some improvements in pest control.
The Department of Buildings has documented several violations related to failure to certify corrections on hazardous conditions between 2023 and 2024, though most of these violations have been dismissed or resolved. The building’s permit history shows activity through 2021 and 2024, with permits issued for various maintenance and repair work. The property underwent significant scrutiny regarding unlicensed work in 2024, leading to Oath Violations and associated fines. While the heating and hot water issues are the most pressing recent concerns affecting resident comfort, the overall pattern of multiple unresolved complaints and violations suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and system reliability, particularly regarding building-wide systems like heat and water.
