Augrented Insights Report for 186 Broadway

186 Broadway, a 4-story two-family house built in 1920 and owned by Solomon Simkowitz, has experienced various maintenance issues over the past several years. The most significant recent violations relate to the building's external safety systems, with four external low-pressure inspection violations issued between 2018-2020 and dismissed in 2025.

In early 2020, serious safety concerns were documented regarding the building's fire escape system, with multiple violations including defective fire escape treads on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th stories, broken ladder guides in the front fire escape, and issues with the roof scuttle security on the 4th story. The building also faced rodent-related concerns, with a 2019 DOHMH complaint about rodents/insects/garbage that resulted in official health notifications to the owner, though subsequent inspections in 2019 showed periods of rat activity followed by passes in rodent inspections. Historical maintenance records from 2005 show various interior issues needing attention, including problems with plaster walls, ceiling repairs, door knobs, and window glass on multiple floors, though most of these violations were eventually closed by 2022.

The building's maintenance history suggests inconsistent oversight of basic safety systems, particularly regarding fire escape maintenance and inspection compliance. Notably, there have been no documented bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent filings in 2023 and 2025 showing zero infested units. Two plumbing permits were issued in March 2022, suggesting some level of ongoing maintenance work.
