Augrented Insights Report for 859 9th Avenue

859 9th Avenue is a six-story, 41-unit old law tenement building in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Deborah Kasner and built in 1883. In recent years, the building has experienced several recurring issues, particularly concerning building systems and maintenance. Notable recent problems include multiple heat/hot water complaints in November 2023, a concerning pattern of building shaking/vibrating complaints in early 2024, and various health department inspections related to sanitation issues.

The building has shown a recurring pest problem, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions involving pests in 2023 and rodent sightings, though recent inspections as of 2024 have passed. The property has faced multiple housing maintenance code violations and complaints, particularly between 2021-2024, including emergency violations for heat and hot water issues, problems with stairs and wall conditions, and various building safety concerns. There have been significant historical violations regarding fire escape obstructions and issues with water damage in specific units (notably 4A and 4D) between 2018-2021, along with a partial stop work order issued in 2022.

The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record showing zero infested units consistently from 2019 through 2024. While there have been various Environmental Control Board violations related to maintenance and code compliance between 2018-2022, these have generally been resolved, including issues with fire escape clearance and window conditions. Recent inspections in 2024 have consistently passed, suggesting improved current conditions, though historical patterns indicate ongoing maintenance and systems challenges.
