Augrented Insights Report for 693 9th Avenue

The 12-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement at 693 Ninth Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, built in 1901 and currently owned by Elizabeth Novotny, presents a mixed record of building maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably in 2023-2024, the building has experienced recurring sanitation challenges, particularly concerning garbage/recycling storage, with multiple complaints resulting in HPD violations requiring proper metal receptacles for waste disposal. There are also open violations from July 2023 regarding mouse infestation in the cellar and improper waste management.

The building has documented issues with illegal transient occupancy, resulting in multiple Department of Buildings violations in 2023-2024, including failures to maintain proper egress systems, sprinklers, and fire alarms in Unit 2R, for which penalties of $7,250 were imposed. Additional safety concerns have been noted, including a compromised fire escape access and obstructed stairwell conditions. The property has a history of responding to various health and safety inspections, with passing results in rodent inspections from 2018-2024, though a rat activity report was recorded in 2017.

While the building's bedbug reporting from 2022-2024 shows no active infestations, the building has had multiple sanitation-related complaints over the years, including a 2021 sewage odor issue. The heat/hot water systems were notably problematic in early 2019, with emergency service requests recorded in January and April of that year. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022, consistently showing zero infested units in annual filings. Recent permitting activity includes several plumbing and electrical work approvals from 2019 and 2021.
