3760 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10032

The 32-unit, 6-story tenement building at 3760 Broadway in Washington Heights, built in 1909, has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been recurring elevator service disruption, with the most recent complaints in 2025 showing both active and resolved violations regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service." The building has also faced multiple heat and hot water problems, particularly evident in early 2025 when multiple complaints were filed and some required access for inspection that was not granted. Recent maintenance issues from May 2025 include problems with flooring, lighting, water leaks, and radiator conditions, though most of these complaints were resolved without violations being issued.

The building has a documented history of various violations and maintenance concerns, particularly affecting apartment 65, where issues with mold, peeling paint, and water leaks were noted in late 2024. Building systems maintenance has been a recurring challenge, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to elevator service, fire safety systems, and hot water availability between 2020 and 2023. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, there was a notable bedbug infestation in 2019 affecting 6 units, though subsequent years show no reported infestations.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2020 indicate serious concerns with elevator service and building maintenance, with several active and dismissed violations related to service continuity and inspection requirements. The property owner, 559 West 156 Bcr Llc, has made some attempts to address these issues, as shown by the closure of various violations through repair and certification. They have also obtained multiple permits for plumbing and electrical work over the past few years, indicating ongoing maintenance and upgrade efforts. Recent inspection results have generally shown improvement, with most recent complaints being resolved promptly, though the pattern of recurring issues suggests continued attention to building systems and maintenance is necessary.
