3607 Broadway is a 7-story, 84-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Socrates Foradoulas. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in heat and hot water systems, with multiple complaints in 2025 alone. The building has an ongoing rat infestation problem, with consistent reports and inspections showing rodent activity throughout 2023-2025.

Recent violations include broken window guards, plumbing issues, and unsanitary conditions, with specific apartments (notably 1A and 3P) documented for pest and mold problems. The building's facade has been a significant concern, with multiple violations regarding spalling stucco and cracked surfaces, particularly noted in 2023 inspections that resulted in a partial vacate order for the courtyards due to safety concerns. There are also persistent issues with bedbug infestations, though recent reports indicate successful eradication of most cases.

The building's compliance history shows a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency violations, with several active issues as of 2025 regarding exterior maintenance and building safety systems. Recent inspections have documented various maintenance issues, including defective fire escapes, missing safety equipment, and pest infestations. The property has received multiple sidewalk shed-related complaints, and there is an active complaint about elevator safety that remains open as of 2025. While some violations have been resolved through repairs and permits, including emergency work on the facade in 2023, the frequency and nature of complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
