4018 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10032

4018 Broadway is a 6-story, 55-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Michael Lago. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed in 2025, 2024, and 2020, though most recent incidents show temporary resolution during inspections. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, particularly regarding food establishment inspections, with multiple complaints recorded between 2022-2025 involving food contamination, foreign objects in food, and rodent issues. Most notably, in June 2025, an active complaint regarding rodents/insects/garbage in a food establishment remains in progress, with previous similar complaints showing either administrative closure or resolution through Department of Health intervention.

The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety inspections in recent years, revealing both resolved and ongoing issues. In 2022, multiple violations were identified including improper fire retardant materials, roof leaks, and missing heating system notices, though many were subsequently closed upon certification. The elevator service was reported as inadequate in April 2025, and there were boiler and plumbing issues documented in October 2023, both resulting in OATH violations. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases since 2019.

Rodent inspections show mixed results, with the most recent being recorded as "Passed" in October 2024, though there have been previous instances of rat activity. Compliance with building management codes has generally been shown through prompt addressing of violations, though some issues have required multiple inspections to resolve, as evidenced by various work permits issued between 2018-2019 for repairs and modifications. The building's recent history illustrates ongoing challenges with basic services like heat and hot water, periodic rodent issues, and food safety concerns, though many historical violations have been addressed. Regular rodent inspections and bedbug monitoring indicate some level of proactive maintenance, and the building has generally responded to most violations through appropriate channels, though there are instances of recurring issues that suggest areas requiring continued attention. The property has maintained compliance with recent Local Law requirements, as shown through various inspection results from 2022-2025, though there remains one active complaint regarding elevator service as of mid-2025.
