426 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

426 Amsterdam Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1891, currently owned by Matt Cohen. The building has experienced persistent heating issues, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water service affecting entire building or individual apartments, especially evident in 2025 with complaints on April 6, March 26, March 22, and earlier instances in 2024, 2023, and 2022.

These complaints were generally classified as emergencies, though in several cases, official inspections could not be performed due to lack of access, or conditions were reportedly corrected upon tenant communication. The building's maintenance record shows some areas of concern. Notably, in late 2021, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 3S, including issues with electrical outlets, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various other maintenance matters.

There have also been three food poisoning complaints filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in 2025 and 2023, though these were deemed isolated incidents. While the building has maintained a passing record in regular rodent inspections (2018-2025, with one failure in 2018), it had several violations related to fire safety and public areas documented in December 2021, including issues with fire-retardant materials and required painting in the second-story public hall. The building's bedbug report filings from 2021-2024 consistently show zero infestation cases, suggesting effective monitoring and management of this particular issue.
