2381 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 7-story, 39-unit Old Law Tenement building at 2381 Broadway, owned by Barbara Morales, has experienced persistent pest control challenges in recent years, particularly with rodent activity. Most notably, from 2023 onwards, the building has undergone multiple rodent inspections, with the most recent June 2025 inspection confirming rat activity. Throughout 2023-2025, several bait applications were conducted, indicating ongoing efforts to address this issue, though initial inspections in March and January 2025 had passed.

The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2019-2025, consistently showing zero infested units, suggesting effective management of this pest. The property has faced several regulatory compliance issues, particularly concerning safety inspections and maintenance. There are multiple active violations related to failure to file essential safety inspections, including External Low Pressure Inspection (2024), External High Pressure Inspections (2023), and Internal High Pressure Inspections (2018-2019).

An Environmental Control Board violation from 2022 remains active regarding the submission of exterior wall examination reports, and another from 2020 regarding elevator safety features. While the building has a history of addressing various complaints, including those about air quality and elevator service, the recurring nature of some issues, such as rodent activity and inspection compliance, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent filings indicate proper bedbug management protocols are being followed, with monthly inspections showing no active infestations since 2019.
