57 West 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

57 West 9th Street is a historic three-story building located in Greenwich Village, built in 1840 and currently containing 3 residential units under the ownership of Roberta Russell. The building faced multiple maintenance challenges in July 2023, with eight emergency service requests filed through 311, primarily concerning safety issues with fire escapes and numerous interior maintenance concerns including mold, water leaks, flooring issues, and problems with walls, ceilings, and windows.

These complaints resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code Violations, particularly affecting Apartment 2, where violations were issued for window frame repairs, wall and ceiling painting requirements, and flooring issues, though these violations were certified as corrected between September and October 2023. The property has maintained good compliance with rodent control requirements, passing all inspections between 2010 and 2024, with no indications of rodent infestation. Recent bedbug reports from 2023 and 2024 show no infestation cases during the reporting periods.

A notable violation was issued in April 2024 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though this is a documentation issue rather than a health or safety concern. The building has a documented history of addressing maintenance issues, with most recent complaints being promptly investigated by HPD, though access restrictions prevented full inspections in some cases. The combined history of fire escape, water, and mold complaints from July 2023, along with the window, wall, and floor issues in Apartment 2, represent the most significant recent maintenance challenges faced by the building, though timely responses from HPD indicate active management of these concerns.
