576 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10036

The four-story, two-unit residential building at 576 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Jonathan Ismaili and constructed in 1910, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most recently, in mid-2024, the building had simultaneous complaints regarding a water leak with heavy flow and ventilation system problems, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations and these complaints were subsequently closed. The building also faced an electrical wiring complaint in March 2024, but inspections were hindered by inability to gain entry.

While there were two food-related incidents in 2021 and 2019 concerning food poisoning and facility construction respectively, these were addressed through normal inspection protocols. The building's maintenance record shows generally good pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2024), as evidenced by annual filings showing zero infested or eradicated units. Regular rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2024, including the most recent in October 2024, have consistently resulted in passing grades.

A violation was issued in 2021 requiring the filing of an annual bedbug report, which appears to have been addressed given subsequent filings showing no infestations. Historical complaints from 2018-2019 regarding illegal hotel rooms and an adult establishment were marked by inability to gain access during inspections. Overall, while there have been recurring maintenance issues, particularly in the ventilation and water systems, the building has generally maintained compliance with pest control regulations and other health requirements.
