862 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10019
The 8-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement at 862 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Edward Tempesta and built in 1930, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably regarding plumbing and sanitary conditions. In early 2025, there were confirmed water supply issues, and a refrigerator complaint from 2024 that was not able to be inspected.
The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems in 2019, with two separate emergency complaints filed within two weeks of each other. Multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and garbage/recycling storage were reported between 2021-2022, with one resulting in violations for failing to provide proper waste receptacles. The property has demonstrated some challenges with pest management, particularly regarding rodent activity, with multiple bait applications recorded between February and March 2025, and a compliance inspection in May 2025 showing passed status.
While the building has maintained a bedbug-free record according to annual reporting requirements from 2019 to 2025, there was one notable violation issued in 2023 for failure to file the annual bedbug report. A recent environmental control board violation from 2023 involved a damaged ATM near the building's entrance. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, though there have been instances where inspectors were unable to gain access for inspection purposes, including a 2024 refrigerator complaint and multiple 2019 heat/hot water complaints.
