156 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10011
The four-story, three-unit building at 156 9th Avenue in Chelsea, owned by Vincent Yam, is a 1852 Old Law Tenement with a mixed-use configuration that includes residential units above commercial space. The property has maintained a generally positive compliance record with regular rodent inspections yielding mostly passed results between 2018 and 2025, with the exception of one rat activity report in July 2021, which was subsequently resolved through an August 2021 compliance inspection that passed.
The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, having received four Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 for failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with HPD. Additionally, in 2019, there was a significant incident involving restroom non-compliance with Local Law 79/16 related to the ground floor restaurant Worthwild, which resulted in an ECB violation for failure to maintain building in a code-compliant manner regarding public facility signage; however, this violation appears to have been resolved with no penalties imposed.
The most recent notable event was a vaccine mandate non-compliance report in August 2021, which was promptly addressed by DOHMH. While the building's recent inspections show reasonable maintenance of basic health and safety requirements, the recurring bedbug reporting violations suggest administrative oversight in compliance with specific housing regulations.
