3875 Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10032

3875 Broadway is a 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1905 in Washington Heights, containing 38 residential units and currently managed by 162 Broadway Assoc LLC c/o SDG Management. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, particularly with rodents, as evidenced by multiple rodent inspection results between 2023 and 2025 consistently showing rat activity, with bait application recorded in several instances throughout 2023. Safety concerns have been documented through multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including a 2024 violation in Apartment 26 regarding defective self-closing doors.

Between 2022 and 2023, the building has had several maintenance issues requiring attention, such as heating system complaints, floor maintenance needs, and various infrastructure problems. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with an active complaint about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" as of March 2025, following previous similar complaints in 2022 and 2020. The building's emergency preparedness and safety features have been historically flagged, including multiple violations regarding self-closing fire doors in public hallways across different floors, and issues with building facade maintenance noted in 2020. Various electrical and lighting concerns have been reported and addressed over the years, including a 2020 violation for electrical work conducted without proper permits.

Inspection records show four separate instances between 2019 and 2020 where immediately hazardous violations were issued but subsequently dismissed, and there have been routine maintenance violations addressed through various permits issued on record. The building's management has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestation cases reported in the past five years. While the property has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues requiring inspection and correction, most violations recorded in recent years have been addressed and closed, with the exception of some continuing concerns such as the elevator service. Recent rodent activity reports suggest ongoing challenges with pest control, despite previous bait applications and inspections indicating attempts to manage the situation.
