245 Broome Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

245 Broome Street is a 6-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building in the Lower East Side, built in 1900 and currently owned by Sun Wong. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues between late 2020 and late 2021, with three separate complaints about lack of service affecting either the entire building or specific apartments, though in each case, either access for inspection was denied or service was reportedly restored before inspection.

Additional complaints include a water supply issue in late 2018 and multiple housing maintenance violations, notably involving garbage bins in the first-story public hall (2020) and an air conditioner nuisance affecting fire escape access (2018), both of which were subsequently addressed. Recent records indicate a positive trend in pest management, with the building maintaining a clean bedbug record for the past four years (2021-2025), showing zero infested or re-infested units in all reporting periods.

The building has also passed regular rodent inspections consistently over the past three years, with the most recent successful inspection occurring in June 2025. The property has been generally well-maintained in recent years, with no recent complaints regarding heat/hot water issues or other major systems problems since 2021, though the pattern of complaints in 2020-2021 suggests previous system reliability concerns. The building's rodent inspection success and absence of bedbug infestations in recent years are notable highlights, indicating effective ongoing maintenance of common pest issues.
