311 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

The 7-unit, 4-story building at 311 East 9th Street, owned by Atlas 311 Holdings Group, LLC, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water complaints, with a recent emergency complaint in December 2024 that could not be inspected by HPD due to access issues.

The building has ongoing rodent problems, with multiple inspections in 2025 and 2024 showing rat activity, though earlier inspections in 2023 and 2022 had passed. The property has also faced recurring maintenance challenges, including a mold complaint in 2022 that could not be inspected, and a slow water leak incident in 2019 that was investigated but found no violations. Of particular concern is the building's failure to maintain appropriate safety inspections for its external low-pressure systems, with violations logged throughout 2023 showing non-compliance for multiple years (2018-2023).

While the building has consistently filed its bedbug reports showing no infestations from 2019 through 2024, the repeated pattern of heating, rodent, and maintenance complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. Recent inspection results for January and February 2025 show rat activity, indicating this remains an unresolved issue. The building's age (constructed in 1900) and the length of these persistent issues suggest a need for continued monitoring of maintenance conditions.
