732 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

732 Amsterdam Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building located in the Upper West Side, originally constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Mark Brookes. The building has experienced several significant health and safety events in recent years, most notably a food poisoning incident in November 2022 investigated by the Department of Health, which was deemed isolated, and indoor air quality concerns related to construction dust in September 2022, which prompted a corrective notice to the property management.

The building's bedbug report filings show one documented case of infestation in the 2023-2024 period, with the affected unit reportedly eradicated, marking the first infestation in several years, as previous filings from 2022 and earlier showed no infestations. The property has a history of various code violations and inspections. Notable housing maintenance code violations include the failure to file an annual bedbug report (2022), failure to post gas leak procedures (2018), and inadequate placement of inspection certificates (2018), though all these violations have been closed.

Earlier issues from 1998 regarding unauthorized alterations to a metal door and frame were also documented and subsequently addressed. The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections, demonstrating a consistent effort to address pest control, with recent inspections in 2024, 2023, and 2022 passing without issues. However, there was a period of rat activity noted in May 2022, and multiple baiting applications were conducted between March 1 and March 31, 2022, indicating previous pest management challenges that appear to have been resolved, as evidenced by subsequent clean inspections.
