448 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

448 Amsterdam Avenue is a five-story Old Law Tenement building located in the Upper West Side, owned by Susan Leeds and built in 1891. The building has experienced recurring pest issues in 2021 and 2022, with two separate complaints about unwarranted sanitary conditions related to pests, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspections in both cases.

More recently, in 2023, the building faced an Environmental Control Board violation concerning improperly supported window A/C units on the 2nd, 4th, and 5th floors, resulting in a $500 penalty which has since been resolved. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in early 2025 showing compliance. The building's recent history includes a smoking violation in 2024 that was addressed and closed by the Department of Health.

While the property reported no bedbug infestations from 2019 through 2024, indicating effective pest management, the recurrence of pest-related complaints in 2021-2022 suggests some challenges in this area. It's worth noting that the building has handled various complaints appropriately, with most being resolved through proper channels, though not all complaints resulted in inspections being conducted. The building's overall maintenance record shows consistent attention to health and safety inspections, particularly regarding rodent control, where all inspections have resulted in passing grades.
