3612 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10031

3612 Broadway is a 6-story, 21-unit New Law Tenement building located in Hamilton Heights, built in 1920 and currently owned by 3612 Broadway Partners, LLC. The building has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two years, with the most pressing concerns being persistent rodent activity, structural concerns, and multiple violations across various systems. Between 2024 and 2025, there were approximately 16 documented instances of rat activity, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 confirming continued infestations.

The building has also faced structural challenges, with active violations noting uneven/sagging floors in multiple apartments (2C, 6A, and 6D) reported in 2025, along with a 2025 violation for extensive fire, smoke, and water damage affecting several apartments and commercial spaces. Recent service requests and violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including multiple complaints about garbage/recycling storage conditions, emergency issues with doors and fire escape safety, and various apartment-specific repairs needed in units 6A and 6D, including issues with plumbing fixtures, flooring, and electrical outlets. The Department of Buildings has records of numerous recent complaints and active violations regarding building stability, elevator maintenance, and construction work compliance.

Notably, a 2024 violation cited extensively corroded and partially collapsed steel beam conditions beneath the sidewalk near the commercial space, and there have been multiple complaints related to temporary construction equipment with expired permits. While the building management has addressed some previous issues, as evidenced by the closing of certain violations and the issuance of permits for repairs, the pattern of recurring complaints and active violations suggests ongoing challenges with property maintenance and resident safety. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in recent years, though there were two cases documented in 2019. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices through both HPD and DOB channels, indicating a complex history of maintenance and compliance challenges that continue to require attention.
