90 West Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10007

90 West Broadway is a 14-story, 13-unit commercial building located in Tribeca, owned by Johnny Castro and constructed in 1920. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past five years, with the most significant concerns centered around Apartment 12A. A cluster of violations was documented in December 2020, including lead paint hazards, defective plaster surfaces, and painting non-compliance.

More recently, in February 2022, there was a rodent sighting that resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections, though a subsequent June 2022 inspection passed. The building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations from 2019 through 2024, as evidenced by annual reporting showing no infested or eradicated units. The property's recent history has included several Department of Building (DOB) violations related to safety and maintenance.

These include a 2022 violation regarding an unsafe report that was dismissed, and active violations from 2018-2020 related to failure to file benchmarking reports and Technical Reports. In 2019, multiple violations were issued regarding the sidewalk shed, resulting in penalties totaling $4,025, though these were resolved. The building's owners have applied for and received multiple permits for emergency work (EW) and alteration (AL) projects from 2018 through 2023, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts. While there have been periodic rodent activity reports, the building has generally passed subsequent inspections and has maintained robust pest control measures, as shown by the recent rodent inspections from 2011-2022, with only one instance of rat activity reported in 2022.
