371 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

The five-story Old Law Tenement building at 371 Amsterdam Avenue, owned by Zacarias Vazquez, has maintained a generally consistent record since its construction in 1888, with three residential units. The building experienced a cluster of pest-related issues in February 2019, with multiple reports of mouse sightings leading to Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting the fourth-floor apartment.

This unit also received violations for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and problems with plastered surfaces requiring repair. A water leak issue was reported in October 2019, though Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) could not gain access to verify the problem. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2015, passing all but one in February 2019, and has shown no bedbug infestations or reports since the filing requirement began in 2020.

Of particular note is the building's recent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing a clean record for the past five years, with the most recent inspection in 2024 passing successfully. While the building had several maintenance issues in 2019, including mold and unsanitary conditions, there have been no similar complaints or violations recorded in recent years, suggesting improved maintenance practices. The most recent Housing Maintenance Code violation from 2021 was related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been rectified in subsequent years.
