340 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

340 Amsterdam Avenue is a 6-story, 38-unit residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Heather Brand Fourth LLC. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with emergency complaints filed in February 2025, and previous incidents in 2022, 2020, and 2023. The building has a history of rodent problems, with multiple baiting operations conducted between February and July 2025, and inspections indicating rat activity.

In 2018, several Class A violations were issued regarding safety signage requirements, including the need for proper notices about carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures. The building's maintenance record shows regular bedbug monitoring, with no infestations reported in the past five years according to annual filings. Recent inspections and service requests reveal ongoing management challenges, including an active violation related to failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection as of September 2024, and a front facade issue from 2018 involving unauthorized work for a canopy and sign installation.

The building has experienced occasional problems with its fire escape system, though access issues have prevented full inspections. Illegal hotel room complaints were filed in 2022 and 2024, though these were either unsubstantiated or resulted in access issues for inspectors. The property has also faced plumbing and water supply complaints, including a significant incident in 2023, though many of these service requests were closed without violations being issued.
