9 East 97th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
9 East 97th Street is a 6-story, 25-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1925 in East Harlem, currently owned by Jag Building. The property has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most significant being food service inspection violations recorded in 2024-2025, including swarmp conditions (active violation as of August 2024) and a 2024 unsafe report filing.
In 2019, there were two complaints regarding indoor air quality concerns related to chemical vapors and odors that were properly addressed by the Department of Health. While the building has had multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021-2024, these seem to be administrative in nature rather than indicating an active infestation problem, as evidenced by consistent reporting of 0 infested units and 0 eradicated units in all bedbug filings from 2019 to 2024. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to pest control, with all recent rodent inspections from 2017 to 2025 passing successfully.
There have been various construction and safety inspections, including a tenant safety inspection in 2020 that resulted in compliance. While numerous permits were issued between 2019 and 2021 for various work types, including emergency repairs, the most recent Department of Buildings construction-related complaint from October 2024 found no violations at the time of inspection. The building's overall violation history shows a pattern of prompt addressal of issues, though the active swarmp conditions violation from 2024 suggests ongoing concerns in at least one area of building maintenance.
