354 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10013

354 Broadway, an 11-story converted Class A building located in the Civic Center neighborhood and owned by Divya Rashad, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past eight years. Most recently, in 2024, there have been active violations related to swarm conditions and an unsafe report filed in Cycle 9C, though these violations remain unresolved as of now. The building underwent substantial renovation work in 2019, during which multiple violations were recorded, including electrical work performed without proper permits and failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner, though these were eventually resolved with penalties totaling $1,740.

A partial stop work order was issued in April 2019, indicating concerns about construction work. The building has had several complaints between 2021 and 2024, including issues with building shaking reported in 2022 and concerns about inadequate sidewalk scaffolding in 2024, though inspections for these complaints found no violations warranted at the time. Two of the complaints recorded in 2021 and 2024 were related to COVID-19 executive orders.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent annual filings (up to 2024) reporting zero infested units. While the building passed rodent inspections in 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2014, there were multiple baiting treatments documented in 2012, followed by a compliance inspection that noted rat activity. The building's history shows a pattern of construction-related violations, particularly in 2019, and ongoing maintenance issues that have required attention, as evidenced by both DOB complaints and ECB violations.
