3155 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10027

Located in Morningside Heights, 3155 Broadway is a 6-story, 23-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Ryan Zar. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints in 2023-2024 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Most recently, in November 2024, there was an emergency heat/hot water complaint for the entire building that could not be inspected due to access issues.

January 2024 saw various utility issues, including a power outage and cooking gas problems, with violations issued related to gas supply deficiencies. The building's infrastructure has raised several concerns, as evidenced by Department of Buildings complaints regarding electrical wiring, egress issues, and gas piping in 2021-2023, with particularly notable problems in 2022 when faulty rear fire escape hardware led to an active $6,250 violation. The property has faced persistent pest control challenges over the years, including rat activity documented during multiple inspections between 2022-2025, though the most recent March 2025 inspections passed.

Water supply issues have been a recurring theme, with multiple apartments (10, 7, and 12A) documented as having inadequate hot water supply in violation notices from 2022-2023. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of compliance and violation issues, including a 2023-2024 investigation into electrical range problems and several instances of door-related violations in 2023. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2018-2025, showing zero infestation cases in the past five reporting periods. Recent rodent inspections in early 2025 resulted in passing grades, though previous inspections had documented rat activity.
