238 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
The 4-story, 13-unit building at 238 East 9th Street in the East Village, owned by Nicholas Drobenko and constructed in 1900, has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most concerning is an open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violation as of April 2024 regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirement, marking the third consecutive year (following 2022 and 2021) this same violation has occurred.
The building also has an open Class B violation from 2019 related to inadequate front entrance lighting, which is particularly relevant to resident safety. A plumbing complaint was filed in September 2020, but inspectors were unable to gain access for verification during their final attempt in October 2020.
On a more positive note, the building has maintained an impressive record regarding rodent inspections, with all ten inspections conducted between 2020 and 2025 passing successfully, including the most recent inspections in February 2025, August 2024, and February 2024. The building's bedbug reporting history shows that for the filing periods of 2021-2022 and 2019-2020, there were no reported infested or previously infested units, suggesting that while the bedbug reporting violation persists, it may not necessarily indicate an ongoing infestation problem. The consistent passing of rodent inspections and the absence of documented rodent-related issues in recent years indicate effective pest management practices at the property.
