Augrented Insights Report for 3840 Broadway

The 6-story, 39-unit building at 3840 Broadway in Washington Heights, owned by Mark Scharfman and built in 1909, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, as of June 2025, there are open complaints regarding electrical outlet/switch problems and building intercom systems, suggesting ongoing infrastructure maintenance challenges. The building has also faced multiple pest-related issues, with recent unsanitary conditions relating to pests reported in June 2025, and a history of bedbug infestations reported in 2022 and 2024.

Significant violations were documented in December 2024 for apartment 47, including problems with the bathroom ceiling, intercom system, plumbing fixtures, and the need for various repairs to comply with housing maintenance codes. The property has shown patterns of maintenance and safety concerns, evidenced by multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations between 2024-2025, including failure to maintain exits and building façade issues with cracked terracotta. A recent complaint regarding water retention/ drainage issues was filed in June 2025.

While the building has passed several recent rodent inspections, there were documented instances of rat activity in 2022. The property’s maintenance history also includes past violations related to the elevator system and various plumbing issues. The building appears to have undergone some repairs and received multiple permits for work between 2018-2020, indicating ongoing efforts to maintain the property, though these have not consistently resolved all outstanding issues.
