223 East Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10002

223 East Broadway is a 6-story, 26-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Michael Young. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly with water leaks, as evidenced by multiple service requests and housing maintenance code complaints between 2022 and 2025, including both slow and heavy flow leaks. A significant cluster of complaints was recorded in May 2025, including flooring issues (with violations issued), mold concerns, and door/window problems, though some inspections were unable to access the affected areas.

The building has documented several code violations that were subsequently addressed, including concerns about self-closing doors, light fixtures, and water damage in Apartment 8A in 2023, along with issues regarding fire escape obstructions and defective plaster surfaces. The property has undergone various inspections and permits over the years, with records showing attention to structural concerns in 2022 when building shaking was reported, triggering structural monitoring and an engineer's report. The building's exterior brick facade was noted to be in disrepair in 2022, resulting in a $2,500 penalty that was resolved.

While the building has experienced periodic bedbug infestations, with one confirmed case in 2024, the recent reports (2023-2024) show most units being free of infestations. Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with some initial inspections failing due to rat activity, though recent results from 2025 indicate compliance. The building has consistently undergone maintenance and issued permits for various repairs and improvements, with records showing active management of the property's maintenance needs through the DOB permit system.
