40 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

40 East 9th Street is a 13-story, 150-unit residential building in Greenwich Village, constructed in 1959 and currently owned by Steven Hoffman. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns related to water systems (heat and hot water outages reported in 2022), and multiple food establishment health violations including food temperature issues and unauthorized food handling practices. There have been two heat/hot water complaints in 2022, one reported for the entire building.

The building has also faced rodent control challenges, with recent inspections in 2024 showing both compliant and failed results for rat activity. The property has active violations related to outdoor signs and proper maintenance requirements, with multiple Department of Buildings ECB violations from 2021 regarding unauthorized signage and building facade maintenance. More recently, there are active violations related to external low-pressure inspection filing requirements as of September 2024.

Building systems have undergone various maintenance work as evidenced by multiple work permits issued between 2019 and 2021, though there were also complaints about work being performed without proper permits in 2023. The building's management has demonstrated efforts to maintain compliance with city regulations, as shown by the passing results of multiple rodent inspections over the years and the absence of bedbug infestations in the most recent three reporting periods (2022-2024). However, there are ongoing concerns regarding building signage, facade maintenance, and periodic health inspection violations that indicate some challenges with property upkeep and regulatory compliance.
