289 Broome Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
289 Broome Street is a 6-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1909 in Manhattan's Lower East Side, currently owned by Donald Lee. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with particular attention required to its ventilation systems and window conditions. As of mid-2025, there are two open window-related complaints (pane and frame issues) from June 2025, and several ventilation and radiator-related complaints from 2024 that were closed due to lack of HPD access.
The property has also shown patterns of pest control challenges, with multiple rodent inspections between 2023 and 2025 revealing rat activity in 2023-2024, though there have been passed inspections recently. Recent inspections in 2023-2024 have identified several notable violations, including issues in Apartments 13 and 18 related to door and window maintenance, pest infestations, and garbage accumulation in public areas. The building was subject to environmental violations in April 2024 regarding illegal cellar alterations and usage, with penalties imposed, though these were subsequently resolved.
The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2023-2025, showing no documented infestations during these periods. Historical data from 2020-2024 indicates multiple attempts to inspect for illegal conversions, though inspectors often reported being unable to gain access. Recent inspection records indicate improved responsiveness to various maintenance issues, with emergency safety concerns such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors being promptly addressed in July 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, particularly related to building infrastructure and pest control, with the most recent concerns primarily centered on window conditions and ventilation systems.
