9 West 16th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

9 West 16th Street is a historically significant three-story building in Chelsea, constructed in 1846 and now housing 10 units under the ownership of Evan Haymes. The building has experienced recurring administrative issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with Housing Maintenance Code violations noted in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, specifically for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, though the most recent report filed in July 2025 shows no infested units.

The building has also been subject to two "Work Without a Permit" complaints, one in 2022 which resulted in no violations being found, and a 2024 complaint where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. A DOB violation from 2020 was eventually dismissed in December 2022 upon verification of corrected defects.

The property's health and safety record shows generally positive trends, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, as evidenced by the bedbug reports showing zero infested or eradicated units. Rodent inspections conducted in 2010, 2011, and 2012 all resulted in passing grades, indicating effective pest management during that period. The building, having undergone conversion to Class A status, has maintained relatively stable occupancy since its 19th-century construction, with its most pressing issues being administrative compliance matters rather than structural or safety concerns.
