3841 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10032

The 10-story, 67-unit building at 3841 Broadway in Washington Heights, owned by 601 West Realty LLC, has experienced persistent heating system issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting either individual apartments or the entire building. Most recently, in May 2025, there was a verified heat and hot water issue affecting the entire building, and earlier in the year there were several similar complaints, including one on February 22, 2025, where inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate the problem.

The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, with open violations as of mid-2025 related to plumbing issues in multiple apartments (including an open bathtub/shower problem from June 2025) and ongoing pest control concerns, particularly regarding rodent activity as evidenced by multiple inspections showing "Rat Activity" in 2025. The building's record shows several serious safety and maintenance violations in recent years, including multiple open ECB violations from 2024 related to construction work without proper permits, with fines totaling $52,500, and a concerning corroded metal cornice issue above the Broadway entrance. There are also active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to the failure to file required reports regarding exterior wall conditions.

Previous years' records show various maintenance problems, including water leaks, mold, and pest infestations, with the most recent bedbug report from 2022 showing no active infestations. The building's heating system appears to be a particularly persistent issue, with multiple HPD intervention requests and complaints throughout 2025, suggesting ongoing challenges with building systems maintenance and tenant comfort. Additionally, there have been several complaints regarding unauthorized modifications, including gas line installations and electrical work in 2022, though these were eventually resolved.
