530 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10018

This 5-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 530 9th Avenue, owned by Scott Goldenberg, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in December 2023, the building received multiple violations in apartment 4F, including problems with hot water supply, gas range functionality, visible mold (approximately 4 square feet), and deteriorated plastered surfaces in the kitchen.

These violations were certified for correction in January 2024, along with a mold-related emergency complaint that had been opened and closed within the same week. The building's recent history also shows repeated concerns with rodent activity, with compliance inspections in 2024 and 2025 indicating ongoing issues. Prior to these recent violations, the building faced significant occupancy and safety regulation challenges in 2018, when multiple Environmental Control Board violations were issued against 528-530 Ninth Realty LLC related to illegal occupancy patterns and failure to maintain required safety systems for a transient use operation.

These included problems with means of egress, fire alarm systems, and the presence of illegal physical culture establishment uses, though these violations were eventually resolved. Between 2018 and 2025, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations in any unit across multiple reporting periods. Recent inspection records from 2025 show consistent rodent control efforts, with multiple bait applications and compliance inspections indicating active management of pest control issues, though inspections have usually documented some level of rat activity.
