860 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10019

860 9th Avenue, a 5-story, 16-unit Old Law Tenement built in 1910 in Hell's Kitchen, has experienced notable recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in August 2024, there were multiple service requests including water leaks, electrical problems, ceiling issues, and mold concerns, all of which were investigated by HPD but no violations were issued.

The building had significant heating and hot water system problems in January 2022, with violations issued for inadequate heat and hot water supply affecting the building and specifically apartment 2RS, though these issues appear to have been addressed. The property has maintained its rodent-free status with successful inspections in 2018, 2019, 2021, and most recently in October 2024, suggesting effective pest control measures. However, there is an active DOB violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection.

The building's history shows regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past two filing periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023). Previous maintenance concerns included plumbing issues (bathtub/shower problems in 2021, water supply issues in 2018), and there were two instances in 2022 where HPD inspections could not be completed due to access issues (related to pest and rodent complaints). While the building has had various maintenance issues over the years, most recent inspections and filings suggest improved compliance with health and safety requirements, though the active violation regarding the low-pressure inspection remains outstanding as of October 2023.
