319 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The six-story, 10-unit building at 319 Broadway in Williamsburg, owned by Eugene Khody and completed in 2017, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues throughout its history. Most recently, in mid-2024, there were complaints about pest issues, though inspections by HPD found no violations. The building has a documented pattern of bedbug reporting compliance, with no documented infestations between 2022 and 2024, and regular bedbug report filings demonstrating adherence to HPD requirements.

Between 2021 and 2023, the building received three consecutive violations related to failing to file annual bedbug reports, though these were subsequently closed. During construction and shortly after completion, the building faced multiple safety compliance issues. In 2019, there were two stop work orders issued and subsequently rescinded.

A serious safety violation was recorded in 2022 regarding an exit door in the cellar that was found nailed shut, creating potential emergency egress issues. The building's construction phase (2018-2019) was marked by several Environmental Control Board violations relating to construction safety, including inadequate safety protection, improper use of equipment, and non-compliance with stop work orders, with penalties totaling over $27,000 that have since been resolved. Earlier records show recurring rodent activity issues between 2014-2017, with multiple rat activity reports and baiting interventions before the building's completion. More recent inspections have shown improved pest control outcomes, with only one rodent inspection recorded in 2018 showing a "Passed" result.
