643 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10012

The 18-unit residential building at 643 Broadway in Greenwich Village, owned by Angela Wong, has undergone several notable events since 2022. Most concerning is the recent pattern of food safety incidents, with two food poisoning complaints in 2024 (one currently in progress). Other significant issues include a building-wide heat and hot water outage in October 2022 that was reportedly resolved, a slow water leak investigated in December 2023 that resulted in no violations, and a fire escape safety complaint in January 2023 that was likewise cleared without violations.

The building has experienced recurring issues with its sidewalk shed/scaffolding system, with three complaints in 2024 and one in March 2023, though inspections typically found no violations. Structural concerns were highlighted in a January 2023 complaint about building vibrations, and a 2023 environmental violation noted facade disrepair with missing decorative stones and stucco cracks. The property has a consistent record of passing rodent inspections between 2011 and 2024, indicating effective pest control measures.

Bedbug reports show no infestations from 2020 to the present, though there was one case in 2018 that was resolved. The building's management has been responsive to various violations and complaints, as evidenced by multiple permits issued for work between 2018-2019. Notably, there was a documented issue in October 2022 regarding a self-closing door violation at the vestibule door, which has since been resolved. The property's overall maintenance record shows regular attention to building systems and prompt responses to most complaints, though the recent food safety issues suggest some ongoing challenges with building operations.
