9 East 32nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

9 East 32nd Street is a 9-story, 77-unit residential building in Midtown, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Abdin Radoncic. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaints reported in January 2025, similar to patterns observed in January 2022, April 2020, and historically throughout 2024. Multiple health and maintenance concerns have been documented, including unsanitary conditions related to pests and mold in September and October 2024, and a water leak incident in 2023 that was ultimately resolved without violations.

Building facade conditions were noted in 2019-2020, with violations documented for failure to maintain exterior walls, though these were subsequently resolved. The property has maintained a consistent record of proper bedbug reporting compliance from 2018 through 2024, showing zero infested units each year. Regular rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, 2019, and 2023 all passed without issues. While an elevator service complaint was recorded in 2019 relating to the single device operation, it was inspected and found without warrant for violation.

The building is currently active with a violation regarding the display of energy efficiency scores, issued in April 2021. Recent inspection attempts by HPD have faced access issues, particularly regarding heat/hot water and pest complaints in 2024 and 2025, though some issues such as the 2024 mold problem were verified as corrected. The building's management has obtained various permits for maintenance work, including facade-related repairs, with the most recent permits issued in 2019-2020 covering exterior work. The property has shown consistent efforts to address violations and maintain compliance, with most issues being resolved upon inspection or through corrective actions, though access issues during inspections have occasionally complicated the verification of problem resolution.
