399 West Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10012

399 West Broadway is a 3-story, 20-unit commercial altered Class A building located in SoHo, constructed in 1880 and currently owned by Jenifer Brooks. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory events over the past five years. Most recently, in July 2024, there was a food establishment permit-related complaint that was closed by the NYC Health Department.

The building has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2022 through 2024, with no reported infestations during the past three reporting periods. However, there have been some concerns regarding rodent activity, with initial inspections in January 2024 and 2025 indicating rat activity, though more recent compliance inspections have passed. The building's history includes multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) inspections in August 2018 where inspectors were unable to gain access for three separate complaints regarding unlicensed plumbing work and missing permits. Three DOB violations issued in October 2018 were ultimately dismissed in October 2023.

Since then, the building has obtained several permits for various work, including plumbing and electrical work, with the most recent being a plumbing permit issued in July 2020. The property has maintained regular bedbug monitoring and reporting, with only one reported infestation in 2021, which was eradicated. Recent rodent inspections have shown improvement, with more passing results than failures, though some initial inspections in 2024 and 2025 noted rat activity. The building's management has generally responded to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the receipt and compliance with multiple permit issuances between 2019 and 2020.
