857 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10019
The 22-unit, 6-story Old Law Tenement building at 857 9th Avenue, owned by Charles Lane and located in Hell's Kitchen, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout late 2024 and early 2025, with multiple complaints filed between December 2024 and March 2025 reporting building-wide problems. Most recently, the Department of Buildings issued a violation in December 2024 regarding a leaking dual fuel boiler with hazardous conditions, resulting in a $1,250 penalty, and there are currently active violations regarding failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2021 and 2023.
The building has undergone several maintenance and safety inspections revealing various code violations, including defective fire escape treads and self-closing doors, though many of these issues have been documented as resolved through proper correction notices. The building has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years and passed rodent inspections in 2018, 2020, 2021, and most recently in October 2024.
Several complaints regarding unauthorized construction work and occupancy issues were recorded between 2018-2024, including a 2023 violation for utilizing a walk-in refrigerator in the cellar without proper permits, though many historical violations have been resolved or dismissed. The building's management has shown some pattern of failing to timely certify corrections for immediately hazardous violations, as evidenced by multiple such violations recorded between 2018 and 2023.
