4023 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10032

The 13-unit, 5-story tenement building at 4023 Broadway in Washington Heights, owned by Royal Charter Properties, Inc., has experienced several concerning maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Between 2022 and 2025, there have been multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints regarding construction safety, unauthorized after-hours work, and enforcement actions, though inspections generally found no violations except for one active work without permit violation as of February 2025.

The building has undergone several rodent-related inspections and remediation efforts, with six inspections between 2023 and 2025 showing rat activity, though some inspections also resulted in passing grades. Notably, the property went through multiple bait applications in early 2023.

While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs over the past six years, with no reported infestations or need for eradication, the recent rodent issues and construction-related complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. A mobile food vendor complaint was addressed by the Department of Health in late 2022, and there was a construction safety compliance action in February 2025 that resulted in a stop work order, though this was fully rescinded in March 2025. The most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 noted rat activity, indicating that pest control efforts may still be necessary.
