58 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10011

58 9th Avenue is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building in Chelsea, built in 1899 and currently owned by Michael Shah. The property has experienced recurring heating issues, particularly in March 2023, when multiple complaints were filed regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) receiving four emergency complaints in close succession between March 26-30, 2023.

These complaints were primarily duplicates, though some were closed due to inability to gain access for inspection. The building has a history of transient use violations, particularly notable in 2018 when Delshah 60 Ninth LLC faced multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to improper conversion of the premises for non-residential purposes, including lack of proper fire safety systems and means of egress. These violations resulted in penalties totaling $8,200, though records indicate they were subsequently resolved.

More recent inspections, including rodent inspections in 2017, 2018, 2019, and most recently in October 2024, have consistently passed, suggesting effective pest management. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent reports from 2025, 2024, and 2023 indicating zero infested units. Other issues, including food establishment concerns in 2021-2022 relating to worker illness and pests, were reportedly addressed through standard administrative closure.
