4861 Broadway, also known as Hawthorne Gardens, is a 6-story, 146-unit New Law Tenement building located in Inwood and currently owned by David Friedman. The building, constructed in 1929, has faced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly in recent months. Between April and July 2025, there were multiple complaints about water leaks, unsanitary conditions including mold and pests, and issues with doors, windows, and plumbing.
Violations were issued for several of these complaints, and as of July 2025, violations remain open for water leaks, mold, and various maintenance issues. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections between 2023 and 2025 consistently showing evidence of rat presence. Previous violations include maintenance issues in Apartments 1KR and 2B, with problems noted regarding bathroom tiles, plaster surfaces, and pest infestations. The building's infrastructure has faced scrutiny through multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations and complaints, particularly regarding elevator safety and maintenance.
Multiple violations remain active related to high-pressure inspections, with the most recent being issued in September 2024. There have been several complaints about unauthorized construction work, with at least one active violation concerning an unauthorized living room conversion in Apartment 3K. The property has shown some improvement in pest management, as evidenced by bedbug reports showing no infestations from 2022 through 2024, though rodent inspections continue to indicate ongoing challenges. The building's recent service requests and violations suggest persistent maintenance issues that have required multiple inspections and follow-up actions by housing authorities, while certain structural and safety concerns remain to be addressed as of mid-2025.
