613 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10036

613 9th Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Mark Scharfman and classified as an Old Law Tenement. The building has a mixed compliance record with various housing maintenance codes and building regulations over the years.

Most notably, there was a plumbing-related complaint in March 2025 that was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access," and a 2023 ECB violation regarding improper jobsite conditions that resulted in a $1,250 penalty. The building has experienced recurring issues with exterior lighting at the main entrance, receiving several violations in 2016 related to inadequate lighting requirements, though these were ultimately certified as closed in 2023. A series of violations in 2014 concerned water leakage and ceiling damage in the 3rd-floor apartment (3S), while earlier violations from 1979 related to stair removal and a roof bulkhead door have not been fully resolved.

The building has maintained a good record regarding bedbug management, with annual reports consistently showing zero infested units since at least 2020, including the most recent filings in 2024 and 2023 that reported no infestations. Similarly, regular rodent inspections have been conducted, with the most recent passing inspection in October 2024, and all previous inspections since 2010 have also passed. While the building has had various maintenance issues requiring attention over the years, including both specific apartment problems and building-wide concerns, the current status as of 2025 shows ongoing compliance efforts with housing maintenance codes and building regulations, though access issues for inspections remain a concern.
