9 East 193rd Street, Bronx, NY 10468

The 5-story, 31-unit tenement building at 9 East 193rd Street in Fordham, built in 1923 and currently owned by Yechiel Weinberger, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in 2025 that warrant attention. Most recently, in May 2025, there were complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though these services were confirmed restored upon inspection. The building has faced multiple plumbing and sanitary issues, particularly in April 2025, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations, as well as problems with bathtub/shower and sink facilities.

However, inspections of these complaints were not completed, and new service requests were recommended. A significant emergency water leak was reported in June 2025 but remains open as of this date. The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, including several code violations issued in late 2024 to apartment 1E, such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, pest infestations, and various repair needs.

Two active violations regarding energy benchmarking reporting from 2019 remain unresolved. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with varying results from passing to some failures for "Other Reasons," though it passed its most recent inspection in May 2024 and received bait application in 2023. While bedbug infestation reports from 2022-2024 show no documented cases, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic systems and sanitary conditions that require monitoring.
