17 East 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

17 East 9th Street is a 4-story building constructed in 1844, currently owned by 17 East 9 LLC, containing 7 residential units. The property has undergone several significant events and inspections over the past few years, with the most notable being a substantial construction project that began in 2022, which generated multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to construction safety compliance and unauthorized work. These violations included issues with structural support, scaffolding, and staircase safety during construction, though most have been resolved or dismissed.

The building has maintained a regular schedule of rodent inspections, all of which have passed since 2016, including the most recent inspection in September 2024. Bedbug reports for the past three years (2022-2024) indicate no infestations or related issues. The building experienced a heat and hot water complaint in late 2018 affecting the entire building, but inspectors were unable to access units for verification, resulting in a closed complaint.

More recently, there have been several DOB complaints and inspections in 2023-2024, including a building violation issued for failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, though this was dismissed in March 2025. The property has consistently filed bedbug reports showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units since 2021, suggesting effective pest management. Recent work has required multiple permits in 2023-2024 for various maintenance and upgrade projects, including plumbing and electrical work, indicating ongoing maintenance of building systems. While there have been various complaints and violations noted over the years, many have been resolved through inspections or dismissed, and regular inspections show generally good housing maintenance practices, particularly regarding pest control and rodent prevention.
