566 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

566 Amsterdam Avenue is a 5-story, 16-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Upper West Side, built in 1910 and currently owned by Lara Manoukian. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being related to ventilation systems, roof access, and fire safety.

In 2024, the building received violations regarding self-closing doors and unauthorized panic bars on the bulkhead door leading to the roof, with one of these violations remaining open. The property has also undergone multiple ventilation-related inspections and complaints, most recently in late 2023 through early 2024. The building has maintained good overall hygiene standards, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past two reporting periods (2022-2023 and 2023-2024), and it has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025.

However, there are currently active fire safety concerns, including a 2023 Environmental Control Board violation related to an obstructed fire escape ladder at Amelie Restaurant on the first floor, which carries a penalty of $1,250. The building's recent history shows a pattern of ventilation system issues and safety violations that require ongoing attention, but it has generally maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and passed regular rodent inspections. A notable 2020 electrical wiring complaint was investigated but found to have no violations at the time of inspection.
