488 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10018
488 9th Avenue is a 5-story, 6-unit residential building located in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Nicholas Accardi and dating back to 1910. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple complaints filed in March 2025 regarding various systems including plumbing (bathtub/shower and water supply), electrical (power outage, outlet/switch, lighting), and appliance (refrigerator) problems. HPD attempted inspections in response to these complaints but was unable to complete them.
Additionally, there was a heat/hot water complaint for one apartment that HPD could not inspect due to access issues. The building has also faced persistent administrative challenges, with four open violations related to failing to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, and one open violation from 2022 regarding a broken or defective metal cornice parapet wall at the roof. Recent inspection records show that the building passed rodent inspections in 2017, 2018, 2019, and most recently in October 2024, indicating no significant pest control issues.
However, there was a broken/missing window guard complaint in December 2023 that was investigated but resulted in no violations. Two complaints regarding unlicensed/illegal activity and illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings were filed in 2021 and 2022, but both were dismissed due to lack of evidence. While the building has generally maintained compliance with health and safety standards, the recent cluster of unresolved maintenance issues in 2025 suggests current challenges with building systems that may impact resident comfort and safety.
