Small Hell's Kitchen walk-up on 9th Avenue with a manageable building file, but short-term rental complaints and commercial food exhaust on the block bring real lived texture.
A 12-unit Hell's Kitchen walk-up on 9th Avenue managed by Tpec LLC. The building's own maintenance file carries no open housing violations, but short-term rental filings and air-quality friction on the block bring clear texture. Three things to know:
Repeated illegal hotel complaints target the building. Three separate illegal hotel complaints were logged against the address between January 2025 and December 2025. In a 12-unit walk-up, transient listings change building security, foot traffic, and hallway turnover quickly.
Heavy restaurant venting and indoor air quality complaints cluster around the block. Within three blocks, neighbors logged 41 indoor air quality calls and 35 food establishment complaints in the last year. Ground-floor restaurant exhaust and street-level cooking fumes can travel directly up internal shafts into residential apartments.
Avenue-level noise and entry-door foot traffic carry into the building. Four panhandling calls were recorded at the front entrance in May 2026. On the surrounding three blocks, 459 residential noise calls hit the record in the last year, largely driven by late-night parties and pounding noise.
