261 Broome Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
The 261 Broome Street building is a 7-story tenement built in 1920, currently owned by Sundeep Dhiman and housing 48 units in Manhattan's Lower East Side. Recent complaints and violations from 2025 reveal several pressing issues, including an emergency carbon monoxide detector complaint and multiple maintenance concerns (kitchen range, intercom, ceiling, bathtub/shower) from April 2025, though most of these inspections were not completed due to access issues. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in December 2024 affecting the entire building.
An emergency mold violation from June 2025 and an open garbage/recycling storage issue from June 2025 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Inspection records show the building underwent several safety inspections in 2024-2025, including a rat activity inspection in July 2023, with mixed results. The building has a history of heat and hot water violations, with three such complaints in December 2024, and has consistently maintained a bedbug-free status in its annual reporting since 2018. Notable past violations include several from a 2021 inspection related to fire safety materials in public areas and maintenance of common spaces.
The building has also faced several ECB violations related to construction work in 2021-2024, with penalties issued for various issues including inadequate tenant protection plans and unauthorized mechanical work. Recent complaints in 2025 regarding elevator service and drainage issues were documented, though not all inspections resulted in violations. The building is currently marked with an active violation for failing to file its FISP Cycle 9C technical report by the required deadline in February 2024. While rodent inspections show some activity between 2023 and 2025, the building's bedbug reporting history has consistently shown no infestations or re-infestations over the past several years, suggesting effective pest management practices are in place.
