458 Broadway

458 Broadway is a 9-story, 8-unit mixed residential/artists building located in SoHo, constructed in 1896 and currently owned by Divya Rashad. The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug prevention measures over the past five years, with all reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units. The building has maintained a good record in rodent inspections, passing all initial inspections between 2014 and 2024. There have been several Department of Buildings (DOB) inspections and complaints in recent years, primarily focusing on tenant safety and compliance inspections, with no violations found in the majority of cases. Most notably, there was a violation for failure to file the 2018 External Low Pressure Inspection in June 2023, though this was subsequently dismissed in August 2023.

The building has undergone regular safety and compliance inspections throughout 2024-2025, including tenant safety checks in February and April 2025, all resulting in compliance. Several complaints were filed during this period concerning various matters, including potential illegal work (December 2024) and construction concerns (April 2025), but inspections determined no violations warranted. The property has an active pattern of permitted work, with multiple emergency work permits (EW) issued through 2025, suggesting ongoing maintenance or improvements to the historic structure. Past violations related to benchmarking report filings from 2019-2020 were dismissed, and there have been consistent efforts to address building requirements under Local Law 188/17. While there have been various complaints and violations recorded, most recent inspections and compliance checks indicate that the building management has addressed these issues appropriately, with the most current bedbug and rodent control inspections passing successfully.
