Augrented Insights Report for 541 Broadway

541 Broadway is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building located in SoHo, constructed in 1869 and currently owned by Stuart Smolar. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being plumbing problems that resulted in stop work orders in December 2022, which were not fully resolved until February 2025.

The building has faced multiple housing maintenance violations, including an open violation from June 2018 regarding inadequate lighting at the front entrance, and violations related to fire suppression systems in December 2022 that were eventually dismissed. A standing water complaint on the roof was logged in July 2021, though inspection access was not granted. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of active violations between 2019 and 2022, though many were subsequently resolved or dismissed.

Importantly, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019 to 2024 showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. Regular rodent inspections have been conducted annually from 2012 to 2024, with all inspections passing. The building has undergone several permitted works over the years, with multiple permits issued between 2012 and 2022 for various maintenance and building improvements, including emergency work that was properly filed and processed.
