220 West Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10013

220 West Broadway, a 10-story, 24-unit property built in 1882 and currently owned by Divya Rashad, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. The building has faced multiple violations regarding its Certificate of Occupancy (CO), with two violations in 2021 and one in 2023 concerning illegal occupancy of cellar spaces, most recently involving a dining area in the cellar of "Stafili Wine Cafe" as documented in a February 2024 Environmental Control Board violation that remains active with a $1,250 penalty.

There have been persistent rodent-related issues, with multiple 311 complaints to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene from 2021 to 2025 regarding rodents/insects/garbage in food establishments, and several Department of Health inspections revealing rat activity, including a passed inspection in March 2022. The building has shown some concerning patterns in its maintenance records, including three consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021-2022) related to failing to file annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings for the period through 2024 show no infested units.

The property has undergone various repair and maintenance activities as evidenced by multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2022, including electrical and construction work. Notable historical issues prior to recent periods include a 2019 boiler violation for multiple defects, and egress-related concerns in 2020. While some violations have been resolved, including a 2022 plumbing issue with a Stop Work Order that was fully rescinded in June 2023, the recurring nature of certain problems, particularly involving food service areas and rodent activity, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
