233 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10001

233 9th Avenue is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building located in Chelsea, originally constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Dennis Thomatos. The building has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with the most significant being boiler-related violations in 2022.

An August 2022 violation noted the absence of a spill switch on the draft diverter of the boiler, though this was resolved with a $625 penalty. Earlier, in 2021, there were two consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting that were subsequently closed, and in 2023, the building received a violation for failing to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection report, though this was dismissed in December 2023. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a good record in certain areas, particularly in pest management and rodent control.

The building's most recent bedbug report (December 2024) covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024 showed zero infested or eradicated units, continuing a pattern established in previous years (2022-2023, 2021-2022, etc.). Furthermore, the building has consistently passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2024, demonstrating effective pest management practices. While there have been periodic violations and compliance issues, many of these have been resolved or dismissed, and the building's overall maintenance history shows particular attention to rodent control and bedbug reporting compliance in recent years.
