483 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

The five-story, 14-unit apartment building at 483 Amsterdam Avenue in the Upper West Side, owned by Stacey Shurgin and built in 1895, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with emergency complaints recorded in 2021, 2022, and multiple instances in late 2023. Most recently, in December 2023, the building received three violations related to heating systems, including inadequate heat supply to the ground floor apartment and locked access to the boiler room.

The building currently has open Department of Buildings violations for failing to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018 through 2023, though one similar violation from 2022 was dismissed. The property has a history of food establishment complaints, with multiple health department inspections in 2024 related to restaurant grading, though these were ultimately closed without finding lasting violations.

In 2023-2024, the building experienced maintenance issues including defective fire escape treads noted in December 2023, and in May 2023, it faced a violation for failing to maintain window A/C units on the second to fifth floors, resulting in a $500 penalty. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest issues in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2021 and successful rodent inspections passing consistently, with only one instance of rat activity noted in 2022. The most recent rodent inspection in August 2024 showed compliance, indicating effective pest management current practices.
