2568 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10025

At 2568 Broadway, a 7-story, 31-unit New Law Tenement built in 1910, the most pressing ongoing issue appears to be recurring heat and hot water problems, with three emergency complaints filed in 2025 alone (January and March) and four complaints in late 2024, including multiple instances affecting the entire building. The property has also faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in 2024, with the most substantial concentration of violations appearing in apartment 3E, including multiple pest infestation issues (roaches and mice), various plaster and paint defects, and concerns about safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building's recent history reveals a pattern of heating system failures, sanitary issues including mold, and interior maintenance problems including water damage to walls and ceilings. Multiple tenant safety inspections between 2023-2025 have been conducted, with some resulting in violations. The property has experienced significant legal and compliance issues, particularly regarding unauthorized construction work, with violations documented in 2020 for adding extra floors and apartments beyond the Certificate of Occupancy, though these violations were subsequently resolved.

More recent construction work in 2021-2024 has resulted in multiple stop work orders and inspection issues, though many of these violations were ultimately dismissed. The building has maintained a proactive stance on pest control, with recent inspections showing passing results, and records from 2025 indicate no current bedbug infestations. However, the building has faced challenges with regulatory compliance, including missed deadlines for filing benchmarking reports and construction-related documentation, though these issues appear to be in the process of resolution.
