Augrented Insights Report for 3901 Independence Avenue

The 106-unit, 6-story residential building at 3901 Independence Avenue in Riverdale, constructed in 1963 and currently managed by 3901 Independence Owners Inc, has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues over the past several years. Most concerning is a recent rodent infestation documented in December 2024, which followed earlier pest problems in 2021 and 2024. The building has faced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly evident in multiple emergency complaints between 2021 and 2022.

Recent building maintenance violations from May 2024 include unsecured handrails and defective floor tiles in the first-story public hall, categorized as Class B violations. The property has also shown recurring plumbing issues, with sewage and water supply problems reported in 2021 and 2024, though some of these complaints did not result in violations. The building's history reveals a pattern of inspections and violations related to rodent control, with the most recent inspections in early 2025 showing rat activity followed by compliance.

During the 2023-2024 period, the building was reportedly free of bedbug infestations, though one unit had been affected in 2021. The property has generated multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding unauthorized work and inspection compliance, with a recent partial stop work order issued in May 2025. While the building has active violations regarding failure to submit certain reports (from 2018-2023), it has also demonstrated responsiveness to some issues, as evidenced by prompt corrections of several heating and plumbing problems in 2021-2022. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance work being performed, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2021 for various repairs and improvements.
