246 Broome Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
246 Broome Street is a 6-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Ming Lam. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident in 2024 during multiple emergency complaints in May and October that affected the entire building. These situations were documented through both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code violations, with one violation from September 2024 noting hot water temperatures exceeding 130 degrees in Apartment 2.
Safety concerns have been documented regarding emergency egress, including violations for obstructed fire escapes and defective fire safety features in January 2024, particularly affecting Apartment 2. The building also faced several structural and safety issues in 2021, including problems with the sidewalk shed, roof conditions, and bulkhead maintenance, resulting in fines that were subsequently resolved. Recent health and safety inspections in 2025 and 2024 have generally passed, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 addressing unsanitary pigeon conditions that were found to have no violations during inspection.
The building's maintenance record shows regular rodent inspections, with some instances of rat activity in 2023, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 have all passed. The property has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, with zero reports filed for the past four years. The current status of the building shows improved inspection outcomes in recent months, with June 2025 rodent inspection passing and March 2025 pigeon-related complaint being resolved with no violations found. However, the pattern of heating system complaints and emergency violations between 2024 and 2025 suggests historical challenges with building systems that have affected tenant comfort and safety.
