464 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

The five-story, 13-unit Old Law Tenement building at 464 Amsterdam Avenue in New York's Upper West Side, owned by Deborah Kasner, was constructed in 1894 and has experienced several maintenance issues and inspections over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with the self-closing doors leading to the north yard in the public hall on the first story, which received multiple Class C violations in 2023-2024 due to defective hinges and missing latch sets.

Additional violations in 2023-2024 included unauthorized encumbrances in the first-story public hall, consisting of an animal cage and a wood dresser, and a 2022 violation regarding a skylight wire mesh screen requirement on the fifth story. The building's bedbug reporting record from 2020 through 2024 shows no reported infestations, with zero infested or re-infested units in each of the annual filings. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2020 to 2025, with the exception of three inspections in late 2019 that noted rat activity.

This period marked a transition from reported rodent issues to consistent compliance. The Department of Buildings records show multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2021 for plumbing and electrical work, including permits issued on October 4, 2019, for electrical work (Job Number 123747384) and on May 12, 2021, for plumbing work (Job Numbers 140059969 and 121379463). While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues requiring attention, recent records indicate improved compliance with both pest control measures and maintenance requirements.
