15 Broad Street, Manhattan, NY 10005

15 Broad Street is a 39-story, 382-unit commercial building located in the Financial District and built in 1913, currently owned by Jillian Berman. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly notable during January 2023, when multiple emergency complaints were filed by tenants, resulting in several Housing Maintenance Code violations. These included inadequate heat and hot water supply in apartment 1508, along with defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors - all classified as Class B and C violations.

While some of these violations were eventually resolved, the building has continued to experience maintenance challenges, with an active Department of Buildings complaint as of April 2025 regarding an illegal advertising sign. Recent inspections and complaints reveal ongoing concerns about building systems and safety features, though many issues have been addressed. The building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs, with zero infestations reported since 2019, and has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2012 and 2021.

Various permits have been issued between 2021 and 2022 for maintenance work, including facade and plumbing-related repairs. The building has experienced multiple health department inspections related to food vendors, with varying issues including food temperature and facility maintenance complaints, though no violations were ultimately cited in most recent cases. Regulatory compliance checks between 2021-2024 showed occasional issues with construction safety and egress systems, though most were resolved promptly, indicating active management response to safety concerns.
