2637 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10025

The New Whitehall Apartments, located at 2637 Broadway in the Upper West Side, is a 15-story residential building constructed in 1923 containing 187 units. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant concentration of problems occurring in 2024. Multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections in May 2024 identified violations related to electrical lighting and radiator plumbing, while other inspections during the same period noted problems with garbage storage, ceiling conditions, windows, and various unsanitary conditions.

These issues resulted in multiple active Housing Maintenance Code Violations linked to apartment 414, including problems with light fixtures, radiator valves, ceiling plaster, and a water leak in the bathroom. The building has also faced regulatory challenges, with multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to facade inspection reporting requirements, including active fines totaling $4,375 for failures to file acceptable reports. Recent developments include a construction safety compliance issue in April 2025 that resulted in a Stop Work Order, though this was fully rescinded in May 2025.

Rodent inspections have been conducted regularly, with the most recent passing inspection in February 2025. The building has maintained a bedbug-free record, with no reported infestations in the past three years. The property has undergone several permit-related activities, with multiple work permits issued between 2019 and 2020 for various maintenance and repair work. While the building has received numerous complaints and service requests over the past few years, most inspections have concluded without finding violations, suggesting that many reported issues were either resolved or not substantiated upon inspection.
