276 Broome Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

276 Broome Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Lower East Side, owned by Kong's Realty Corp. The building, constructed in 1900, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three separate complaints in January 2021 and one in December 2019 reporting lack of these essential services throughout the entire building.

Recent inspections in late 2023 and throughout 2024 showed several emergency and non-emergency issues requiring attention, including door/window problems, smoke detector safety concerns, wall paint/plaster concerns, and flooring issues - though no violations were ultimately issued by HPD. The building's history includes multiple Department of Buildings inspections related to illegal conversions and illegal hotel room claims in 2019, though inspections on these occasions resulted in "Oath Violation Served" outcomes.

The property has maintained compliance with rodent control regulations, as evidenced by passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past six reporting periods (2019-2025). Recent building operations have included multiple emergency work permits issued between 2019-2021, and in 2020, there was a notable environmental control board violation related to unauthorized work on the third floor (Apartment 10). The building has undergone regular inspections for various compliance checks, including rodent control, which has consistently passed, and the most recent bedbug filings from late 2024 show no infestation issues, indicating effective pest management practices.
