317 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

317 East 9th Street is a 5-story, 15-unit residential building constructed in 1900, located in Manhattan's East Village neighborhood and currently owned by Michael Shaoul. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with three documented emergency complaints in 2019 (August, November) and most recently in October 2024, though no violations were cited in the 2019 inspections and the 2024 complaint was closed without access to units for verification.

The Department of Buildings has conducted several inspections, including a tenant safety inspection in December 2024 with no violations found, though there were previous concerns in 2019 regarding vent/exhaust issues and illegal activity, both of which resulted in no violations at the time of inspection. The building's maintenance record shows attention to pest control, with annual bedbug reports from 2020 to 2024 indicating no reported infestations in the previous year (2023-2024 period).

However, rodent inspections have revealed inconsistent results, with multiple instances of rat activity recorded between January 2023 and November 2024, including failed compliance inspections. The property underwent some structural improvements in 2018, as evidenced by permit filings for plumbing and electrical work. While the building has faced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and rodent control, the absence of recent bedbug infestations and the completion of several permits suggest some level of ongoing maintenance and repairs being performed.
