522 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10018
522 9th Avenue, a 5-story Old Law Tenement built in 1880 and currently owned by Michael Krasne, experienced significant regulatory scrutiny in early 2019 when multiple complaints and violations were filed regarding illegal hotel room operations in the building. Between February and June 2019, five separate complaints were lodged (with complaint numbers 1500755, 1501329, 1503779, 1508742, and 1512139) regarding unauthorized transient rentals, leading to multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations against Ninth K Realty LLC.
These violations included serious safety concerns such as inadequate fire alarm systems, insufficient sprinklers, and inadequate means of egress for the allegedly converted apartments (specifically Apts #2 and #3, and #5), though all of these violations were subsequently resolved with penalties totaling over $20,000. Since those incidents, the building has demonstrated a consistent record of compliance with health and safety inspections.
Most notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2025) and the building has passed multiple rodent inspections, with the most recent one occurring in October 2024. Prior to the 2019 violations, the building also maintained a clean record, with rodent inspections showing consistent compliance from 2010 through 2019. The property's recent bedbug reporting history (2021-2025) shows zero infestations or related issues, suggesting effective pest management practices.
