213 East Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10002

213 East Broadway is a 4-story, 5-unit Old Law tenement building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Annie Wang. The building has experienced several significant events over recent years, with particular attention needed on the pattern of illegal work and conversion complaints between 2020-2024.

Most notably, there have been multiple complaints about work without permits in an occupied multiple dwelling and illegal hotel room activities, though many of these complaints resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access or found no violations at the time of inspection. A notable building violation was recorded in 2020 regarding an unpermitted shed structure on the secondary rooftop, which incurred a $250 penalty that has since been resolved. The building has a concerning history of food establishment violations, particularly in 2020, with issues such as bare hands in contact with food and food poisoning incidents, though these appear to have been isolated occurrences.

Recent health compliance includes three consecutive years of filing annual bedbug reports from 2021-2024 showing no infestations, and regular rodent inspections from 2019-2025 have consistently passed. While there have been four Housing Maintenance Code violations specifically regarding bedbug reporting compliance between 2021-2024, these appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicative of an active infestation problem. The most recent environmental and health inspections, including the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025, show consistent compliance with health and safety standards.
