Augrented Insights Report for 796 9th Avenue

The 18-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 796 9th Avenue, owned by 796-798 Ninth Successor LLC, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over recent years, with the most recent complaint filed in January 2025. This building, constructed in 1900 in Hell's Kitchen, has a documented history of heat-related problems, with multiple complaints from 2020 through 2025 involving both entire building and apartment-specific issues. Other notable incidents include unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage in 2024, and multiple complaints regarding cooking gas and refrigerator issues in early 2024, though no violations were issued for these cases upon inspection.

The building has faced significant regulatory scrutiny in recent years, particularly regarding unauthorized usage and safety concerns. Between 2020 and 2021, there were multiple complaints and investigations regarding illegal hotel room conversions, with violations issued in 2020 related to failures to provide required fire alarm systems, sprinklers, and means of egress for transient use. The property also had violations regarding fire escape obstruction in 2020, and environmental violations in 2021 and 2020 related to various safety standards, though many of these violations were subsequently dismissed. Most recently, comprehensive rodent control measures were implemented in 2023-2024, with multiple bait applications noted and occasional rat activity recorded.

While no bedbug infestations have been reported in recent years (with zero units infested according to the last five annual reports), the building's maintenance and safety compliance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services. Recent inspections have shown some improvement in certain areas, including a passed rodent inspection in July 2024, though the persistent nature of heat and hot water complaints indicates this remains a significant concern for residents. The building's legal and regulatory history includes multiple instances of failure to comply with Department of Buildings requirements regarding violation correction, with several penalties imposed in 2020-2021, though most violations were ultimately resolved or dismissed. The most recent Department of Buildings inspection in late 2021 resulted in no violations being issued, suggesting some improvement in general compliance.
