Augrented Insights Report for 500 9th Avenue

500 9th Avenue is a 15-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building located in Hell's Kitchen and owned by John Esposito. Built in 1901, the building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been two emergency complaints in 2024-2025 regarding unsanitary conditions involving pests, and in 2023-2024 concerning heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building.

In April 2022, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently resolved concerning water leaks (heavy flow) and paint/plaster issues affecting both walls and ceilings. The building has also undergone regular rodent inspections, all of which have passed since 2010, with the most recent inspection in October 2024 showing compliance. The property has a concerning history of access issues during inspections, with inspectors unable to gain entry during investigations of heating/hot water problems in 2023, pest issues in 2024, and alleged illegal hotel rooms in 2019.

Notably, there was one violation recorded in 2022 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved. However, the bedbug reporting history from 2020 through 2025 shows consistent documentation with no reported infestations, indicating effective management of this issue. The building's overall maintenance record shows a mix of resolved issues and recurring problems, with the most recent complaints focusing on building-wide systems rather than unit-specific problems.
