863 9th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10019
Located in Hell's Kitchen, 863 9th Avenue is a 95-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Luis Delacruz. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed between December 2024 and March 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These complaints, often marked as emergency situations, were frequently met with challenges in obtaining access for inspections, though one January 2025 inspection found no violations.
The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including problems with appliances and the intercom system in early 2025. Significant violations were documented for apartment 5R during a December 2024 inspection, including issues with paint, tile, plaster, and door maintenance, though these appear to be limited to one unit. The property has a history of elevator service concerns, particularly regarding single-device operation and lack of alternate service, with multiple complaints recorded between 2019 and 2024.
In late 2023, two active environmental control board violations were issued regarding illegal apartment modifications and allegedly obstructed egress, with penalties totaling $18,750, though one violation from 2019 regarding plumbing issues is listed as resolved. The building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs, with no reported infestations since 2019, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 show mostly passing results, except for a rat activity finding in April 2024. Recent complaints and violations suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance, particularly regarding heat/hot water service and various infrastructure issues, though many historical violations appear to have been resolved. The property has undergone various inspections and audits by city agencies, with most recent focus on addressing outstanding housing maintenance code violations in apartment 5R.
