661 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10036

The four-story, four-unit residential building at 661 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Jamie Pabon, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency reported in November 2022, though these services were reportedly restored shortly after the complaint.

The building has received multiple violations related to bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, with the most recent open violation recorded in April 2024, indicating ongoing non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code. Additionally, a lighting violation from June 2019 remains open, concerning inadequate exterior lighting at the front entranceway.

Despite these issues, the building has demonstrated satisfactory rodent control management, with initial inspections conducted monthly from December 2022 through July 2024, all passing without any detected rodent problems. The building appears to have improved its maintenance response timeliness, as evidenced by the prompt resolution of the 2022 heat/hot water complaint within four days, though this may not reflect the general pattern of service responsiveness. The consistent rodent control success suggests effective property management in at least this area, though the two open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements and the front entrance lighting concern indicate some continuing regulatory compliance challenges.
