715 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10019

The 5-story, 15-unit tenement building at 715 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Soraya Lall and constructed in 1901, has a relatively stable maintenance record over recent years. The most significant cluster of violations occurred in April 2023, when multiple issues were identified during an inspection, including roof maintenance problems, security concerns with self-closing doors, and various fire safety violations in both the public hall areas and cellar.

Specifically, the violations included a leaky roof above the ceiling at the 5th story public hall, missing window guards throughout public areas, and problems with fire retardant materials in the ceiling at both the cellar and 5th story. These violations were all certified as addressed by April 28, 2023. The building has maintained a clean bill of health for pest-related issues, with no reported bedbug infestations over the past eight reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, and it has consistently passed annual rodent inspections since 2016.

A single electrical wiring complaint was received and investigated in January 2023, but no violations were found at that time. While there was one failure to maintain complaint logged in July 2021, this appears to have been resolved by September 2021. The property has generally demonstrated good compliance with regular inspections and prompt resolution of violations, though the April 2023 cluster of violations indicated some temporary maintenance challenges that were subsequently addressed.
