27 Broadway Terrace, Manhattan, NY 10040

27 Broadway Terrace is a 17-unit, 4-story tenement building constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Gideon Platt. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, most recently documented in November 2024 when HPD was unable to gain access to conduct an inspection despite the emergency classification of the complaint.

In 2020, the property underwent significant structural scrutiny, revealing serious maintenance issues including a cracked/damaged stone masonry retaining wall, improperly supported concrete slab, and concrete deficiencies involving steel beams, for which the building owner received multiple Environmental Control Board violations totaling $4,375 in penalties. These violations were ultimately resolved with repairs completed under job #140961341 and appropriate permits issued on October 15, 2020. The building has maintained a consistent record of pest management, with zero reported instances of bedbug infestations in the past five years (2019-2024), and its recent rodent inspection in January 2024 passed without incident.

While there have been some instances of rat activity noted between 2016 and 2022, the building has generally demonstrated compliance with rodent control measures. An unusual and ongoing concern has been the presence of an illegal pet rooster, with a complaint filed in September 2018 that remains open as of the last available records. The property has also faced scrutiny for failure to promptly correct hazardous conditions, as evidenced by DOB violations in 2020-2022, though these were eventually dismissed following appropriate repairs and compliance actions.
