424 Broome Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

424 Broome Street is a 7-story, 6-unit commercial altered Class A building constructed in 1897 and currently owned by Paula Rubenstein. The building has experienced recurring issues with elevator safety and maintenance, particularly between 2019 and 2021, when multiple violations were documented regarding elevator deficiencies and the failure to properly address identified problems.

An active Environmental Control Board violation from May 2021 noted the absence of required door lock monitoring equipment in the elevator controller, resulting in a $1,250 penalty, while two Department of Buildings violations from 2019 and 2021 regarding elevator-related issues remain open. The building has also faced housing maintenance violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with non-compliance noted in 2021, 2022, and 2023, though subsequent filings show no recorded infestations during the 2022-2023 period or previous years. The property has maintained a generally positive safety record, passing all rodent inspections conducted between 2011 and 2024, with the most recent inspection in August 2024 yielding a passing result.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent diligence in monitoring and reporting, with all filings indicating zero infested or eradicated units. While the elevator system has presented ongoing challenges requiring attention, the building has demonstrated compliance with other maintenance requirements, with no other significant violations documented in recent years. The combination of an active elevator safety violation and historical bedbug reporting violations suggests the building management has faced some challenges in maintaining compliance with all safety and health regulations, though recent bedbug reports indicate effective management of that particular issue.
