Augrented Insights Report for 640 Amsterdam Avenue

640 Amsterdam Avenue is a five-story, 22-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and owned by Steven Birbach. The building has maintained a generally good record over the past several years, with regular rodent inspections (conducted between 2018 and 2025) consistently passing inspections, indicating effective pest management.

Bedbug-related compliance has shown significant improvement, with no reported infestations or eradications in the past three years (2022-2025), and the most recent bedbug report filing in June 2025 confirmed zero infested units for the 2023-2024 period. The building experienced some compliance issues in the past, including two Bedbug Report filing violations in 2022 and 2023, though these were resolved and no penalties were imposed.

A notable Environmental Control Board violation was recorded in 2023 regarding the facade condition between the 2nd and 5th floors, specifically concerning window air conditioning units, though this was also resolved with no penalties. The most recent building inspection and complaint history suggests improved conditions, with no major outstanding violations or resident complaints. The building's maintenance records indicate regular attention to housing codes, though there was one documented unsanitary conditions complaint related to pests in 2018, which was investigated and closed with no violations issued.
