9 Minetta Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

The 5-story, 20-unit residential building at 9 Minetta Street in Greenwich Village, owned by Harald Kerbler, has been subject to several ongoing issues over the past four years. Most notably, there are repeated open violations regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations for 2021 through 2024, with the most recent inspection in April 2024 still showing this violation as open.

The building has also experienced significant construction-related safety violations, particularly in late 2018, when three ECB violations were issued against HNL Construction Company for failure to protect adjoining properties, lack of safety equipment measures, and absence of approved construction documents, resulting in penalties totaling $19,750, though these were later resolved. The property has maintained a good rodent inspection record, passing all inspections since 2010, including the most recent one in August 2024. Previous complaints and violations from 2018-2019 included issues such as locked/blocked egress, debris concerns, and multiple complaints about illegal after-hours work, though these were typically closed without violation warrants.

The building's permit history shows regular activity, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2021 for various construction work, including plumbing and alteration permits. While there have been violations related to boiler inspection report filings in 2019, these were eventually dismissed in 2022. The property has undergone over 15 years of regular rodent inspections, all of which have passed, indicating effective pest management.
