Augrented Insights Report for 261 Broadway

261 Broadway, a 12-story, 65-unit commercial altered Class A building built in 1915 and owned by Alan Russo, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are active concerns regarding the building's facade condition, with multiple ECB violations issued in 2023-2024 documenting problems with brick masonry, cracked window sills, and spalling at various elevations.

The building has also faced challenges with its elevator systems, with active violations related to inspection requirements and maintenance records dating back to 2019. Emergency plumbing repairs were needed in June 2023 for both toilet and bathtub/shower issues, though these were promptly addressed. The building's recent history shows consistent attention to pest management, with annual bedbug reports from 2019-2025 showing no infestations, and regular rodent inspections indicating passing results in 2022, 2023, 2024, and early 2025.

Recent building inspections have revealed various compliance matters, including an active Local Law 188/17 Compliance inspection from 2023 and issues with sidewalk shed safety that resulted in a violation. The property's maintenance history also includes some administrative challenges, such as failure to file certain inspection reports and response to violation notices, though many older violations from 2019-2022 appear to have been resolved or dismissed. The building has undergone multiple permit issuances in recent years, indicating ongoing maintenance and repair work being conducted to address various building systems and structural concerns.
