Augrented Insights Report for 681 9th Avenue

681 9th Avenue is a 4-story, 5-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Hell's Kitchen, built in 1910 and currently owned by George Makkos. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with 311 complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests reported in June 2023, August 2021, and July 2020, some resulting in violations. Multiple plumbing issues have been reported between 2020-2021, including problems with sinks, radiators, and toilets, with some violations issued.

The property has maintained regular compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections between 2012-2024. Recent inspection records show building systems and safety features have generally complied with requirements, though there were several code violations in 2022 related to safety signage and bedbug reporting requirements, all of which were subsequently closed. Significant past violations include a 2022 complaint about a blocked fire escape and multiple violations requiring improved safety signage in 2022.

The building also had two related permits issued in December 2019 regarding work performed without proper permits, which resulted in penalties. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, particularly during 2020-2021, it has demonstrated a pattern of addressing most complaints through HPD inspections and subsequent corrections. Between 2019 and 2025, the building has filed regular bedbug reports showing no active infestations, and recent 311 service requests have been responded to and closed, though some required tenants to report ongoing issues if problems persisted.
