717 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10019
717 9th Avenue is a five-story, 17-unit residential building in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Manjula Mukhopadhyay and constructed in 1901 as an Old Law Tenement. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding plumbing and heating systems. In 2022-2023, there were several heating/hot water emergencies affecting both the entire building and individual apartments (notably 5B and 4A), along with multiple plumbing complaints concerning water supply issues.
The building has also faced pest-related challenges, with multiple reports of rodent sightings and unsanitary conditions between 2023-2025, despite passing subsequent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2023. Recent complaints from 2025 include ongoing food safety investigations, though these appear to be related to commercial premises rather than the residential building itself. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, including a period of heating system violations in late 2022 showing inadequate heating/hot water supply, and multiple plumbing issues documented through 311 service requests.
The property has had several notable violations regarding building safety and maintenance standards, including issues with self-closing doors, access to heating systems, and various maintenance concerns documented in 2021-2022 inspections. While there were several Department of Buildings violations issued in 2021 related to fire escape obstructions and occupancy concerns, many of these were subsequently resolved or dismissed. However, two active ECB violations from 2022-2023 remain outstanding, one concerning a gas burner system and another regarding an annual boiler inspection report. The building's bedbug reporting from 2021-2025 consistently shows zero infested units, and recent rodent inspections have been passed, suggesting some improvements in pest management.
