688 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10012

The 12-story residential building at 688 Broadway in NoHo, owned by Eamon Early, was constructed in 2016 and contains 16 units. The building has maintained a generally positive track record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods (2020-2024), and it has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2016 through 2024, with the exception of 2014 when rat activity was detected.

Recent maintenance issues include a food worker hygiene complaint in 2022 that was addressed, and a significant pool maintenance violation in late 2022 that led to temporary closure until corrections were made. The building has experienced some regulatory scrutiny over the years, with Department of Buildings violations and environmental control board issues during its construction phase in 2018. These included a $10,000 penalty for failing to safeguard workers and property after an incident involving a trip hazard, and another violation regarding unprotected parapets during construction.

More recent compliance issues involved the failure to submit certain required reports in 2021-2022, though these violations were ultimately dismissed in 2023 due to the building's first TCO being less than 10 years old. The property has maintained active compliance with permit requirements, as evidenced by multiple permits being issued between 2019 and 2020 for various construction activities. The building's maintenance record shows regular inspection and reporting, with the most recent bedbug report (December 2024) showing zero infected units for the 2023-2024 period, and rodent inspection results remaining consistently positive.
