3137 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10027
3137 Broadway is a 5-story, 12-unit old law tenement building located in Morningside Heights, built in 1901 and currently owned by Amir Cohen. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent significant concerns emerging in mid-2024 including multiple unsanitary conditions related to pests and water leaks, all of which were closed without inspections being conducted. The property has also faced recurring rat activity, with multiple inspections and bait applications recorded throughout 2024-2025.
Historical maintenance issues include a 2021 heat and hot water emergency, and various building code violations from 2018 requiring repairs and painting of public hall areas. Recent violations and complaints from 2024 include a defective boiler with safety concerns (openings, exposed wiring) that resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation, as well as problems with improperly supported window A/C units. The building's lobby and public areas have experienced recurring maintenance issues, including peeling paint and water leaks, for which inspectors frequently encountered access issues. While there was one documented case of bedbug infestation in 2022-2023, the most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 show no active infestations.
The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the resolution of various violations, though problems with obtaining access for inspections and addressing ongoing maintenance issues have been noted as recurring challenges. The property has a mixed record of maintenance compliance, with recent years showing particular challenges with pest control, water-related issues, and building system maintenance. The most recent inspections in 2025 continue to show rat activity, indicating ongoing challenges with pest management despite previous bait applications. The building's age and classification as an old law tenement may contribute to some of the maintenance challenges observed, though it is worth noting that many violations from earlier years were properly resolved, including multiple 2018 violations related to fire safety and building maintenance in the public areas.
