336 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10001

The four-story, three-unit tenement building at 336 9th Avenue in Chelsea, owned by Chang Lee and constructed in 1910, has experienced some notable service issues over the past several years, though recent records show significant improvement. In November 2019, there were two related heat and hot water complaints - one for the entire building and one for an individual apartment - which the Housing Preservation Department (HPD) recorded as emergency cases.

The entire building complaint was particularly concerning as HPD was unable to gain access to inspect for the reported lack of heat or hot water. While there were repeated violations from 2021 to 2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports (classified as Class A violations), these have since been resolved. The building has maintained a remarkable track record with respect to pest management in recent years.

The most recent bedbug report for 2024-2025 shows no infestations or eradication efforts required, and this pattern of zero infestations has been consistent since the 2019-2020 reporting period. Additionally, the building has successfully passed all rodent inspections since 2015, with the most recent inspection in October 2024 continuing this positive trend. While the heat and hot water issues in 2019 and the bedbug reporting violations suggest some past management challenges, the building's current condition as of 2025 appears stable, with no recent complaints or violations regarding basic services or pest management.
