Augrented Insights Report for 642 9th Avenue

The 16-unit, 5-story old law tenement building at 642 9th Avenue (Hell's Kitchen), built in 1920 and currently owned by Joyce Iskander, has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Though the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations reported between 2019 and 2025, it has faced ongoing challenges with rodent control, as evidenced by multiple "rat activity" inspections between 2022 and 2023, followed by more recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 that passed. Between 2018 and 2019, there were significant concerns regarding heat and hot water availability, with emergency complaints filed and subsequently resolved.

The building currently has several active violations related to its external low-pressure inspection filings from 2018 and 2023, and in late 2023, there was an Environmental Control Board violation issued for unpermitted work related to an awning and sign installation. The property has experienced periodic issues with its common areas and building systems, including multiple Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) violations from 2020 concerning public hall conditions on the 3rd story, which notably include requirements for painting work and repairs to fire-retardant materials and flooring. There have also been various food establishment-related complaints, including a 2024 food poisoning incident that was deemed isolated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH).

While the building has generally passed health inspections, the frequency of rodent activity reports between 2022 and 2023 suggests ongoing pest control challenges. Recent inspections in mid-2024 and 2025 have shown improvement in rodent control measures, with both inspections passing. The building's management has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently reporting zero infested units in recent years, though there were two food establishment complaints regarding the kitchen/food prep area and toilet facilities in 2019 and 2023.
