247 Broome Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
247 Broome Street is a 6-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side and owned by Robert Cohen. The 125-year-old property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly between 2024-2025, with notable concerns regarding sanitation and pest control. Most recently, in early 2025, there were multiple reports of rodent activity and unsanitary conditions, including an open complaint about garbage/recycling storage (January 2025) and sewage odor (February 2025).
The building has a documented history of rodent infestation, with 2024-2025 showing repeated complaints including four separate rat sighting reports in early 2025 alone, though subsequent inspections in June 2025 yielded "Passed" results. The property has also faced ongoing technical maintenance challenges, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems. Between late 2023 and early 2024, multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints were filed and subsequently resolved, indicating previous deficiencies in this essential service.
Additionally, various housing maintenance code violations have been recorded, including issues with public hall maintenance, door functionality, and fire safety features, though many of these violations have been addressed and closed through subsequent inspections. The building's most recent Rodent Inspection results (June 2025) indicated resolved rodent activity, showing compliance with health department requirements. Historical records show no bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2024), suggesting effective pest management practices, though the building has faced periodic pest-related complaints as documented in 2024-2025.
