3828 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10032

The 6-story, 38-unit tenement building at 3828 Broadway in Washington Heights, owned by Tony Huang, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges since early 2025. Most recently, in May 2025, there were multiple issues involving paint and plaster damage to ceilings and walls, some of which resulted in HPD violations. The building has also faced several emergency situations, including a fire escape safety concern in April 2025 and various ceiling paint issues.

A significant cluster of complaints in early 2025 involved appliances, including a gas range problem, and there were attempts to address unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and pest control, though inspectors were unable to complete some inspections. The building's history shows persistent elevator-related problems, with multiple complaints about the single elevator service dating back to 2020-2025, though inspections often found no violations. Significant violations were issued in 2018-2019 related to elevator maintenance and access issues, resulting in penalties.

Apartment 61 on the 6th floor has been a focal point for various violations, particularly during 2024-2025, including issues with plastered surfaces, water leaks, and pest infestations, though many of these violations were subsequently addressed. The building has passed recent rodent inspections (2023-2024) and maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2021, with no reported cases in the last five years. While some violations have been resolved, including issues with smoke detectors and carbon monoxide devices in Apartment 61, the frequency of recent complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges require monitoring.
