254 Broome Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
254 Broome Street is a 6-story, 16-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Lower East Side, built in 1900 and currently owned by Jeanette Colaianni. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent months, with several open complaints as of May 2025, including problems with window frames, sinks, electrical outlets, and bathtub/showers, all classified as emergency situations. There are also serious infrastructure concerns, as evidenced by an open heat/hot water complaint from April 2025.
The building's maintenance history shows persistent challenges, particularly in 2024, when multiple Units (15 and 16) reported violations related to hot water temperature and door self-closing mechanisms. These violations, along with plumbing issues in various units, have resulted in significant building maintenance scrutiny. Recent inspections have revealed various systemic issues, including a fire escape violation (April 2025) and multiple open violations related to door hardware (Class C violations from April 2024).
The building's heating and plumbing systems have been particular points of concern, with multiple complaints recorded in 2025 and 2024 regarding inadequate heat and hot water throughout the building. While rodent inspections conducted from 2022 to 2025 showed mixed results, with several "Rat Activity" reports in 2022 followed by passed inspections in 2023 and 2024, the building's overall maintenance record demonstrates ongoing challenges with basic systems. The property has also faced issues with unregulated work, as indicated by several complaints about work being conducted without permits between 2020 and 2024, though inspectors were often unable to gain access to verify violations.
