Questions about this building
Does 2481 Broadway, Manhattan have open violations?
Yes. 2481 Broadway, Manhattan had 13 open violations on September 26, 2026: 12 from HPD and 1 from OATH/ECB. 10 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 2481 Broadway, Manhattan getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 10 open Class C, with 8 certifications filed and 1 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends September 26, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.
When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 2481 Broadway, Manhattan?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 63 Class C violations: 60 by the original certify-by date, 3 after it. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.
Does 2481 Broadway, Manhattan have active DOB violations?
Yes. 4 active DOB violations, most of them for construction. The newest was issued June 2, 2025. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.
Has DOB received complaints about 2481 Broadway, Manhattan?
Yes. 31 DOB complaints in the last 12 months, 2 of them conversion complaints. The newest was filed August 29, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.
Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 2481 Broadway, Manhattan marked completed?
Yes. 2 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 28, 2023, awarded for $6,420 in total. The most recent of the 2, a lead paint order, was opened June 5, 2024. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.
What did the latest facade report find at 2481 Broadway, Manhattan?
Rated Safe in the latest facade report, filed July 15, 2023 (inspection cycle 9). Buildings taller than six stories must have their exterior walls inspected once in every inspection cycle under the city's Facade Inspection Safety Program (every five years under DOB's current rule), and each inspection report is filed with DOB as Safe, SWARMP (safe with a repair and maintenance program) or Unsafe. No Report Filed means DOB has no report for that cycle. The rating is from the latest filing and does not describe the facade today; DOB's page for the building shows anything filed since.
Are any DOB work permits in effect at 2481 Broadway, Manhattan?
Yes. 1 DOB work permit in effect, for Plumbing work, issued January 27, 2026. A permit in effect allows the work it names. It does not mean the work has started or finished, or that it fixes any violation on this page.
Does 2481 Broadway, Manhattan have a certificate of occupancy?
Its latest certificate of occupancy is temporary, renewed August 31, 2026. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.
Is 2481 Broadway, Manhattan covered by Local Law 97?
Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered under Article 321, the path for certain affordable housing and houses of worship (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.
Is 2481 Broadway, Manhattan rent stabilized?
The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.
When was 2481 Broadway, Manhattan built?
The city's record gives 1925 as the year 2481 Broadway, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator apartment building with 12 floors.
How many apartments does 2481 Broadway, Manhattan have?
The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 86 residential units at 2481 Broadway, Manhattan. The count is for the whole tax lot.
Where do these numbers come from?
From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on DOB violations, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 26, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.
