40 Broad Street, Manhattan, NY 10004

The building at 40 Broad Street, a 156-unit, 31-story Class A residential property built in 1982, has experienced several notable incidents over the past two years (2023-2025) that warrant attention. The most significant ongoing concerns involve multiple food establishment violations throughout 2024, including cases of food contamination, water issues, and toilet facility problems, though most were determined to be isolated incidents upon inspection. The property has also faced various maintenance challenges, including water leaks, wall and ceiling paint issues, and appliance problems, particularly between January and April 2024, with some complaints remaining open for extended periods.

A concerning pattern emerged in early 2024 with multiple health-related complaints, including indoor air quality issues linked to construction dust, a smoking violation, and unsanitary conditions involving mold. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to plumbing issues, as evidenced by multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints related to sinks, bathtubs/showers, and water supply systems. There have been periodic elevator maintenance inspections and compliance checks under Local Law 188/17, with records showing inspections completed with no violations warranting enforcement action. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases from 2019 through 2024, and has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted in accordance with city regulations.

Significant regulatory matters include a failure to file an energy benchmarking report in May 2024, though this violation was dismissed after confirmation of submission. Previous years' records reveal historical issues with privately owned public space compliance, though most were resolved without penalties. Recent building permits issued between 2018 and 2021 indicate regular maintenance and improvement work, including plumbing and electrical system upgrades. The property has generally demonstrated compliance with major building codes, with most violations being promptly addressed or dismissed upon inspection.
