356 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10013

356 Broadway, a five-story commercial building located in the Civic Center neighborhood and owned by Divya Rashad, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, the building faced multiple sewage-related incidents in March 2021, with complaints about unsanitary conditions and sewage leaks, some of which were marked as emergency situations. More recently, in October 2023, there was a concerning indoor air quality complaint involving human feces.

The building has also experienced structural concerns, with two complaints about building shaking/vibrating affecting structural stability reported in 2020 and 2021, though inspections found no violations at that time. Additionally, there have been two complaints in 2023 regarding inadequate support/shoring and work without a permit, though the latter was closed with no violation warranted at the time of inspection. The property has maintained a generally good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past seven years (2019-2025).

Similarly, rodent inspections from 2010 through 2018 showed improvement over time, with initial rat activity reports in 2010 and 2012 eventually resulting in passed inspections by 2018. The building has also maintained compliance with various permit requirements, with several "EW" permits issued from 2019 through 2025, the most recent being issued in April 2025. An open violation from 2021 regarding "None" was resolved in February 2022, and records show generally prompt responses to service requests, though there were some instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to the building for verification purposes.
