572 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

572 Amsterdam Avenue is a 5-story, 13-unit old-law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Frank Ortiz. The building has experienced multiple plumbing-related issues over the past several years, with four documented complaints between 2018-2019 involving steam pipes and sink problems, though most were either resolved or closed due to lack of access for inspection.

A significant cluster of violations was recorded in December 2018, including moisture issues in public hall walls, multiple safety code violations related to fire safety and carbon monoxide detection, and various maintenance requirements for the first-story public hall. Of particular note is an open Class C violation from April 2024 regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirements, along with an open Class B violation from December 2018 concerning a defective radiator valve in Apartment 4. The building has maintained a consistent record of successful rodent inspections over the last seven years, with all inspections from 2018 through early 2025 passing.

The bedbug reporting records from 2018 through 2023 show zero reported infestations or eradications, though the most recent 2023 filing period (covering 2021-2022) lists one open violation related to bedbug reporting compliance. The property experienced a brief period of heat and hot water issues in December 2018, which were reported resolved, and more recent maintenance and safety concerns appear to be primarily administrative in nature, such as missing required signage and improper documentation. While the building shows periodic maintenance challenges, particularly related to plumbing and building systems, it has generally met public health requirements through regular inspections and reporting.
