482 West Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10012

482 West Broadway is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in SoHo, constructed in 1830 and currently owned by Iris Stewart. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns occurring in 2023-2024. These include multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints related to toilet facilities (2023-2024) and a food poisoning incident in October 2023.

The building faced notable housing maintenance code violations in 2023, particularly affecting Apartment 7, including issues with a leaky bathtub faucet, hot water availability, and a locked boiler room access. An August 2023 violation regarding the sprinkler system was recorded, with paint observed on several sprinkler heads and missing covers, resulting in a $625 penalty. Housing violations from 2021 indicated problems with doors, windows, electrical systems, and interior surfaces in Apartment 7, though most were subsequently addressed through corrections and inspections.

The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past eight reporting periods (2018-2025), and recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025 have passed, though there were two failures in mid-2021. Multiple 311 complaints and housing maintenance code violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly affecting Apartment 7. However, the property has demonstrated compliance with most remediation requirements, as evidenced by the closure of numerous violations through proper corrections. The building's last three bedbug reports (2020-2023) show zero infestation and eradication cases, and rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2023, suggesting improved pest control measures in recent years.
