480 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024
The 12-unit, five-story Old Law Tenement building at 480 Amsterdam Avenue, owned by Sal Radoncic and dating back to 1895, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, most notably regarding building-wide heating and hot water systems. In late 2024, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding inadequate heat and hot water throughout the building, leading to violations in apartments 1C and 3D, as well as issues with the building's heating system access and notification requirements. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has documented recurring rodent activity, with inspections in 2025 showing ongoing rat activity despite bait application efforts.
The building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2020, with only one infested unit recorded in 2018-2019, and no further cases reported in subsequent years. The property has undergone several maintenance and safety inspections revealing various violations and required corrections. In 2021, violations were noted regarding fire escape functionality and missing safety notifications, while 2024 inspections identified issues with hot water access and building notification requirements.
The Department of Buildings (DOB) has recorded multiple permit issuances between 2019 and 2023 for various repair and maintenance work, including plumbing and electrical systems. Recent DOB inspections in 2021-2022 found issues with excessive debris and sidewalk shed safety, though some complaints were dismissed upon inspection. The building's management has generally addressed violations when cited, with most being marked as resolved upon certification, though the persistent rodent activity and recent heating system issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
