Augrented Insights Report for 487 Amsterdam Avenue

487 Amsterdam Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, built in 1891 and currently owned by Scott Dames. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with significant clusters of complaints occurring in 2025. Most notably, in April 2025, multiple housing code violations were documented, including problems with doors/windows, walls/paint, and water leaks, with some violations classified as emergency situations.

Notable ongoing issues include two open bedbug-related violations from 2023-2024, and a 2023 incident in apartment 5S involving excessively hot water and leaky bathroom faucets. The property has a generally favorable rodent inspection history, passing inspections consistently from 2017 through 2024. A complaint about illegal conversion was filed in June 2024 but was found to have no warranted violation upon inspection in July 2024.

More recently, in April 2025, multiple housing maintenance code violations were issued, with some residents experiencing difficulties in granting HPD inspectors access to complete required inspections. While many of the 2025 complaints were ultimately closed, they reflect ongoing maintenance challenges within the building. The building's health department inspection record from April 2025 included one food establishment complaint, though this appears to be related to a commercial tenant rather than the residential units.
