684 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10012

684 Broadway, a 12-story commercial building constructed in 1905 in NoHo, currently owned by Divya Rashad, houses 22 units. The building has generated significant activity in recent years, particularly related to health and safety concerns. Most notably, there has been a pattern of mobile food vendor-related issues between 2023-2025, including multiple reports of smoke/odor problems, permit/license violations, and insect/pest incidents.

The property has also experienced some structural and maintenance challenges, with the Department of Buildings issuing violations in 2024 related to the failure to submit required energy efficiency reports and FISP Cycle 9C technical report. Historical data shows building concerns dating back to 2019, including violations regarding oil tank abandonment and construction notification failures, though many of these have been resolved. The building has undergone regular safety inspections, with recent tenant safety inspections in late 2023 showing compliance.

While there have been some rodent-related issues, recent inspections in 2024 have generally passed, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in August 2024. The building's bedbug reporting records from 2018 to 2024 show no infestations or treatment requirements during this period, demonstrating effective pest management. Four Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections conducted in 2025 faced challenges with access, as inspectors were unable to gain entry on their first attempts. The ongoing investigation into a food establishment without permit/license reported in June 2025 suggests that some regulatory compliance issues are still outstanding.
