233 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

The six-story, 18-unit building at 233 East 9th Street in the East Village, owned by Stanislaw Gsasiorek, has experienced significant maintenance challenges over the past year. Most notably, there were multiple safety concerns in early 2024, including violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors recorded in April and unsanitary conditions with pests documented in both March and April. The building has faced ongoing heating issues, with both apartment-specific (February 2023) and entire-building (March 2024) heat and hot water complaints.

In March 2024 alone, there were multiple complaints regarding building conditions, including issues with ceilings, bathrooms, and fire escapes, though inspections were either not possible or resulted in no violations. More concerning are several open violations from 2024 regarding apartment 1A, including ongoing pest infestation issues and missing safety equipment. The building's history reveals recurring concerns about egress and fire safety, with multiple violations regarding blocked exits between 2018 and 2022, and a 2022 environmental control board violation regarding facade disrepair. Between 2018-2021, there were penalties related to obstruction of egress on the first floor, which were resolved.

The property has maintained a regular bedbug reporting history (2019-2024) with no reported infestations, and despite recent rodent activity noted in late 2024, recent inspections in 2025 have shown compliance with rodent control measures. Recent inspections (2024-2025) have shown some progress in addressing maintenance issues, with several violations being certified as corrected, though rodent baiting remains ongoing with varying results. The building's violations, complaints, and inspection history suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding safety systems and pest management, though there have been efforts by the management to address and correct many of these issues. The most recent inspections have shown some improvement in building conditions, with the property passing rodent inspections in early 2025, but the ongoing nature of some complaints and violations indicates that building maintenance requires continued attention.
