856 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10019
The 5-story, 8-unit building at 856 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Joe Restuccia, has faced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most recently, in 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding plumbing problems with basins/sinks and unsanitary conditions, including pests and garbage/storage issues, though inspections typically found no violations. The building has experienced recurring plumbing issues, as evidenced by complaints in both 2024 and 2021 involving basin/sink problems.
A food poisoning incident was reported in early 2024, and the property has dealt with garbage storage violations, including a notable violation in February 2024 for not providing sufficient metal receptacles for waste. The building's history includes significant concerns in 2019 regarding illegal hotel room usage in apartment 5F, which led to multiple violations related to fire safety systems and means of egress. While these violations were resolved, they indicate a period of serious regulatory scrutiny.
More recent building maintenance issues have included electrical problems (no lighting), various repair needs in apartment 2F, and a failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection as of April 2023. On a positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2010, with the most recent inspection in October 2024 showing compliance. Additionally, the building's bedbug reports for the past three years (2022-2025) show no infestations, indicating effective pest management. While many past violations have been resolved, the building continues to show patterns of maintenance issues, particularly regarding plumbing and garbage management.
