9 West 69th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

9 West 69th Street is a 5-story, 12-unit residential building located in the Upper West Side and built in 1920, currently owned by Philippe Hayat. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, particularly in 2021, with multiple complaints about vermin, including documented infestations of mice and roaches in Apartment 3F, as well as violations related to water bugs in Apartment PF.

More recently, there have been concerns regarding garbage and recycling storage, with two open HPD service requests filed in May 2025, though these complaints do not appear to have been classified as emergency situations. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with all reports indicating zero infested units, and the most recent rodent inspections in 2025 showed passing results, though previous inspections in 2023 noted rat activity. The property had significant maintenance issues between March and August 2021, including violations related to fire safety equipment in Apartment 3F (inoperable smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector), as well as various sanitation concerns.

Historical records show multiple successful resolutions of violations, including a 2014 violation regarding missing kitchen door louvers in Apartment 2F, which was certified as corrected in 2019. While there were periods of rodent activity noted in 2023 and early 2024, the building has generally passed subsequent inspections, with a "No Violation Warranted" determination in 2025 for a Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspection. The most recent available data indicates ongoing attention to sanitation issues, though the building's historical pattern shows periodic reoccurrences of similar maintenance challenges.
