Augrented Insights Report for 3900 Broadway

The 27-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building at 3900 Broadway, owned by Socratis Foradoulas, has experienced significant and ongoing challenges with its heating system, particularly in 2024-2025, with eight heat/hot water complaints filed through 311/HPD between December 2024 and April 2025, some affecting the entire building and some specific apartments. Notably, a Class C Housing Maintenance Code violation was issued in December 2024 regarding scalding hot water exceeding 130°F in Apartment 6D. The building has also faced various maintenance and safety issues, including multiple active ECB violations related to exterior wall examinations (with penalties totaling $19,375 from 2020-2022), an infestation of mice in Apartment 4C, and multiple elevator service complaints.

While the building appears to have undergone some repairs, as evidenced by the issuance of several permits between 2018-2024, recurring problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has documented rat activity throughout 2022-2024, with multiple inspections resulting in the application of bait in areas indicating persistent rodent issues. Safety equipment violations include an open Class B violation from August 2024 in Apartment 2A regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, as well as water leak issues in the same apartment.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring theme in complaints, with multiple reports of single device service issues from 2018 to 2024, most recently in October 2024. While there have been periodic bedbug infestations reported, the most recent 2024-2025 filings show no current infestations. The building's management has made some attempts to address these issues, as indicated by various closure descriptions in complaint records, though access difficulties for inspectors have been noted in multiple complaints.
