4648 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10040
The 18-unit, 5-story New Law tenement building at 4648 Broadway in Inwood, owned by Jay Silver and constructed in 1916, has experienced several significant issues in recent years, particularly concerning building systems and pest management. Most recently, in April 2025, there were confirmed heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, though these were reportedly resolved upon inspection.
The building has faced persistent rodent control challenges, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 consistently showing rat activity, despite baiting efforts by pest control services throughout this period. A significant cluster of complaints in March 2025 involved inadequate heat and hot water, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, along with issues related to paint/plaster conditions and plumbing.
The building underwent an inspection in December 2024 that revealed multiple violations in apartment 44, including lead paint hazards, plaster surface issues, and the need for window guard repairs, though all these violations were certified as closed by early 2025. Between 2022 and 2024, there were several Department of Buildings complaints regarding maintenance issues, including a 2019 ECB violation for unauthorized work involving water, waste, and gas lines. The building's record shows regular compliance inspections with some persistent issues, particularly regarding building systems and pest management, though it should be noted that there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building for several years, based on the required annual reporting.
