Augrented Insights Report for 654 Broadway

654 Broadway, located in the NoHo neighborhood, is a 6-story joint residential/artists building constructed in 1884, currently containing 8 units and owned by Moises Farhat. The building has experienced persistent issues with unauthorized short-term rentals, particularly between 2022-2024, resulting in multiple Department of Buildings investigations and four Environmental Control Board violations in May 2024, which notably cited deficiencies in means of egress, sprinkler systems, and fire alarm systems for transient use, though these violations have since been marked as resolved. The building has faced comfort issues in January 2022, with two separate heat/hot water complaints (one involving the entire building and one reportedly limited to a single apartment), while housing records indicate consistent rodent inspection compliance, passing all inspections between 2011-2024.

The property has maintained up-to-date bedbug reporting compliance from 2019-2022, with no infestations reported during this period. Recent activity includes a notable Department of Buildings violation from September 2024 regarding failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, and multiple active violations from 2021-2024 remain listed as open. The building underwent several permit issuances between 2018-2020, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements, while the heating system issues documented in 2022 raise questions about the building's maintenance response to basic infrastructure needs.

Between 2019-2024, the building has maintained a regular schedule of building inspections, with the most recent rodent inspection in August 2024 passing successfully. The building's 311 complaints regarding heat/hot water issues in 2022 were addressed, with at least one resulting in verification of corrected conditions, though access issues were noted for another complaint. The property has undergone various capital improvement projects as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2018-2020, and historical records show a pattern of proactive compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, though there appears to be a period of heightened regulatory scrutiny regarding illegal hotel usage from 2022 through 2024. The building has maintained a record of passing rodent inspections consistently, suggesting effective pest management practices.
