34 West 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

34 West 9th Street is a 5-story, 5-unit residential building located in Greenwich Village, dating back to 1845 and currently owned by 34w9 LLC. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most concerning being a 2020 incident involving an eroded and bulging brick wall in a first-floor apartment that resulted in a violation and summons. The building has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past two years (2023-2025).

Recent complaints in 2024 regarding unsanitary garbage storage conditions led to two separate HPD inspections, though no violations were ultimately issued. The building's violation history shows a mix of both resolved and ongoing concerns. A 2024 violation was issued for a non-compliant self-closing door mechanism at the vestibule, which was certified as corrected in June 2024.

In 2023, a violation was filed for failure to submit the required 2022 external low-pressure inspection documentation, which remains active as of October 2023. The property has consistently passed annual rodent inspections between 2016 and 2024, demonstrating effective pest control measures. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, including multiple unsanitary garbage storage complaints processed through the NYC311 system, its overall housing maintenance record shows regular filing of required reports and prompt attention to most violations when they occur.
