4640 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10040

4640 Broadway is a five-story, 29-unit residential building constructed in 1920 located in the Inwood neighborhood, currently owned by Jay Silver. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly related to heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints filed in May 2025 indicating ongoing problems. Additional maintenance concerns have been documented in 2025, including plumbing issues (toilets, sinks, and bathtubs), wall paint/plaster problems, and door/window maintenance needs. An inspection in late 2024 revealed multiple housing maintenance code violations, including the need for proper safety notices regarding gas leaks, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as requirements for door maintenance and building registration postings.

The building has also faced some concerning maintenance patterns, with three separate complaints about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage between April and June 2025. The property has a mixed compliance history with Department of Buildings inspections. In 2024, there were violations related to construction debris and electrical work in Apartment 2, resulting in fines, though the former violation was resolved with a $1,250 penalty. The building's management has generally maintained records of addressing violations, with many being certified as corrected by early 2025.

Notably, the building has had consistent rodent inspection results over the past several years, with nearly all inspections showing "Passed" results, though there was one instance of "Rat Activity" noted in August 2023. The bedbug reporting history shows minimal infestation activity, with only two reported cases between 2019-2020, both of which were marked as eradicated. The property's energy benchmarking report was not filed in 2019, though this violation was dismissed. Recent complaints and violations suggest some ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, though many inspection violations have been addressed through certification processes.
