716 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10003

716 Broadway is a 6-story mixed-use residential/artists building located in NoHo, built in 1891 and containing 5 units, currently owned by Gonzalo Delfa. The building has experienced several concerning incidents in recent years, with the most significant being ongoing indoor air quality issues related to sewage odors, with a complaint as recent as June 2023 remaining unresolved.

There have been multiple electrical wiring violations in 2024, including a September violation for unpermitted electrical work on the 6th floor that resulted in a $1,600 penalty. The building has also faced serious safety concerns, with three complaints in 2025 regarding egress issues, inadequate support/shoring, and construction work, leading to a partial vacate order being served in March 2025. Despite these recent issues, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of pest problems, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past eight years (2017-2025).

Regular rodent inspections have also consistently passed between 2014 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 showing compliance. Historical data shows various Department of Buildings violations and inspections for the building between 2019 and 2022, including an apparent failure to perform a required Category 5 inspection in 2019, though most of these were resolved or dismissed. The property has been subject to multiple DOB environmental control board violations and complaints during this period, suggesting ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly with electrical systems and building safety features.
