169 East Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10002

169 East Broadway is a 5-story, 18-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, owned by CMK169 LLC and constructed in 1920. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being two open complaints as of February 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and general janitorial services.

The property has a documented history of plumbing problems, including water supply and toilet issues, and multiple electrical concerns, particularly involving wiring. In 2024, multiple violations were issued, particularly affecting Apartment 10, including problems with plastered surfaces, water leaks, and various door-related issues (bathroom door, self-closing doors). The building has also faced regulatory scrutiny, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints indicating concerns about construction work without proper permits in late 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access during inspections.

A bedbug reporting period from November 2023 to October 2024 shows zero infested or re-infested units, and rodent inspections conducted regularly from 2021 through 2025 have consistently passed. Recent violations from 2023 include issues with self-closing doors in public areas, requiring repairs to vestibule doors on multiple floors. The property has experienced some concerning incidents, such as a complaint about building shaking/vibrating in November 2023 and a violation for work performed under a stop work order in May 2023, though most complaints are either closed or in various stages of resolution, with the most recent violations being primarily focused on building maintenance and compliance issues.
