462 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

462 Amsterdam Avenue is a five-story, 13-unit residential building constructed in 1894, currently owned by Sam Mangano. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evidenced by multiple emergency complaints in January 2025 and December 2024. These problems, though initially requiring HPD intervention, were reportedly corrected in several cases.

The building has three open violations as of October 2023, primarily affecting Apartment 2R, including issues with flooring, kitchen infrastructure, and pest infestations. While the property has maintained regular rodent inspections, showing improvement with passed inspections in 2024 and 2025, there were instances of rat activity noted in 2019. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various systems, with multiple plumbing and electrical permits issued between 2018 and 2022. Recent activity includes two illegal conversion violations in early 2025 and several 311 complaints related to health and safety matters.

A concerning pattern emerged in late 2024 through early 2025, with multiple complaints regarding plumbing issues and a health department investigation into food poisoning. The building's management has generally responded to heat and hot water complaints promptly, though multiple incidents suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations since 2020, indicating effective pest management in this regard. While historical data shows periods of maintenance concerns, particularly regarding plumbing and heating systems, recent inspections have shown improvements in pest control and building management response times.
