319 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10007

The 5-story, 8-unit commercial-altered Class A building at 319 Broadway in Tribeca, owned by Albert Laboz and constructed in 1870, has experienced several notable health and maintenance issues over the past few years. In 2019, multiple health-related complaints were filed, including incidents involving drinking water, food poisoning, and contaminated food - though no violations were ultimately cited in the drinking water investigation.

The building has had persistent issues with bedbug reporting requirements, receiving violations in both 2021 and 2022 for failure to file annual reports, though subsequent filings from 2022 through 2024 show no reported infestations. More recently, there is an active violation as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file 2018 external low pressure inspection information. The building's maintenance history shows generally good results in rodent inspections, with all but one initial inspection from 2010-2018 passing, and only one instance of rat activity noted in January 2010.

The Department of Buildings conducted a construction enforcement inspection in April 2024 with no violations found. Two elevator-related violations from March 2019 and March 2020 were resolved by April 2022, and there was a documented bedbug infestation period from 2020-2021 that was subsequently eradicated. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2022-2024, showing no infested or re-infested dwelling units during these periods, and passed multiple rodent inspections between 2010-2018, though the building's age and location suggest ongoing vigilance would be prudent.
