Augrented Insights Report for 3820 Broadway

The 6-story, 37-unit residential building at 3820 Broadway in Washington Heights, constructed in 1907 and currently owned by Lazer Sternhell, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, with the most recent complaint filed in May 2025. In late 2024, the building faced multiple service requests related to unsanitary conditions (including mold), electrical issues, flooring concerns, and plumbing problems, though inspections were unable to be completed in these cases.

The building has also shown persistent issues with sanitation, having received multiple violations and complaints regarding pests. A significant ongoing concern is the open Environmental Control Board violation from September 2024 regarding the building's occupancy status, which indicates a discrepancy between the current number of dwelling units (38) and the records showing only 23 legal units, with a penalty of $1,250 imposed. The building's maintenance history reveals multiple active violations as of 2025, including plumbing problems in apartment 62 (water supply and leaky faucets) and various maintenance issues in apartment 21 (pest infestation) and apartment 35 (multiple plumbing and flooring problems).

Previous concerns about the building's structure included a June 2024 complaint regarding a potentially unsafe parapet condition, for which an Oath violation was served. While the building has successfully passed recent rodent inspections (most recently in October 2024), the pattern of repeated complaints regarding basic building systems (heat, hot water, plumbing) and maintenance issues (mold, pests) suggests ongoing challenges with property maintenance. The building's historical data shows a pattern of building code compliance issues being addressed through various permit processes, with multiple permits for plumbing and electrical work issued between 2018 and 2022, though some complaints about work being done without proper permits have been recorded.
