627 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10036

The 8-unit, 5-story residential building at 627 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Jack Ertl and constructed in 1910, has experienced several notable events and ongoing maintenance requirements in recent years. The building is currently under active violation status for failing to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection as of September 2024.

There is also an open violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though previous years' filings (2021-2022 and 2020-2021) showed no reported infestations, with zero infested units and no re-infestations noted. The building has demonstrated good rodent control compliance, passing multiple inspections throughout 2023 and 2024, with only three bait applications required in 2023. The property has faced some regulatory scrutiny regarding building operations, with three complaints lodged between 2022 and 2024 concerning work without permits, certificate of occupancy issues, and illegal after-hours work.

However, each of these complaints was either closed without violations being found or referred to other departments. The building's food establishment violations in recent years, including issues with food worker hygiene and improper food handling practices, have been addressed and closed, with the most recent complaint from December 2024 having been responded to by the NYC Health Department. While there are some open violations and a pattern of needing to address administrative requirements such as bedbug reporting and pressure inspections, the building has maintained stable housing conditions with consistent rodent control measures and no recorded bedbug infestations in recent reports.
