47 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

47 East 9th Street, a 13-story Class A residential building in Greenwich Village, was built in 1964 and contains 173 units. The property has experienced several recurring issues requiring attention to building systems and maintenance. Most recently, in May 2025, there was an emergency heat and hot water outage that was restored shortly after HPD's notification.

This follows a pattern of infrastructure concerns, including a chemical odor complaint in 2022 and sewage odor issues in late 2024, both requiring intervention from the Department of Health and Department of Environmental Protection. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing concerns, including past violations related to exterior walls, which were noted for spalling and cracked bricks in 2020, and accessibility issues documented in 2018. Multiple boiler-related complaints were filed between 2019 and 2021, though inspections typically found no violations.

The property has maintained a consistent record of pest management success, with zero bedbug infestations reported in annual filings from 2019 to 2024, and passed multiple rodent inspections conducted between 2013 and 2024, though there was one initial failure in 2013. Recent activity in 2025 suggests ongoing challenges with building signage compliance, with multiple complaints about illegal signs and storefronts, though most violations were found not warranted upon inspection. The building's management has regularly obtained necessary permits for various maintenance and improvement projects, with multiple permit issuances documented between 2018 and 2020. While the property has had its share of maintenance challenges, the management appears to generally address issues as they arise, with most complaints being resolved through inspections and necessary corrections, though the recent heat and hot water incident indicates some infrastructure systems may require ongoing attention.
