499 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10012

The 4-story, 5-unit building at 499 Broadway in SoHo, owned by Robert Weinstein, has a mixed-use designation as JOINT RESIDENTIAL/ARTISTS and was constructed in 1900. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though recent filings (most recent in February 2025) indicate no current infestation.

The building underwent significant scrutiny in 2019, when it received multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to occupancy and safety matters, including unauthorized combination of apartments and lack of a required fire alarm system for single room occupancy use, resulting in $5,000 in penalties (though records indicate these were resolved). Recent years have shown some maintenance and safety concerns, including a 2018 Class B violation for inadequate front entrance lighting, which was corrected in 2019. The property has maintained consistent rodent inspection compliance, passing all required inspections between 2012 and 2024.

There were two Department of Buildings complaints in 2022 related to a sidewalk shed, with one resulting in an Oath Violation. Multiple permits were issued between 2019 and 2022 for unspecified work under job number 122810958, suggesting ongoing maintenance or improvement efforts. The building's bedbug reporting pattern shows diligent compliance over the last three years, with no reported infestations during the monitored periods, and recent rodent inspections have also passed, indicating improved pest management protocols.
