801 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

801 Amsterdam Avenue is a 15-story, 100-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 2008 and currently owned by Columbus Square 801 LLC. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints reported through 311 services and Housing Maintenance Code complaints in 2025, including both building-wide and apartment-specific incidents. While these complaints were closed following inspections, repeated reports suggest an ongoing concern with building systems.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has documented several food establishment violations between 2021 and 2024, primarily related to food safety practices, though these were all addressed and closed. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various safety requirements, with violations recorded in 2018 relating to missing safety notices for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures, though these were ultimately certified as corrected by January 2021. In terms of infrastructure, there are active elevator-related violations from 2019 regarding failure to address defects from 2017 inspection, and a 2020 violation concerning building facade maintenance.

The building has maintained a regular rodent control program, with passing inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though there were indications of rat activity noted in 2022 and earlier years. Importantly, the building's bedbug reporting from 2019 through 2024 shows no recorded infestations or re-infestations, indicating effective pest management. The most recent property inspections have demonstrated compliance with basic housing maintenance codes, though the repeated heat and hot water complaints remain a notable issue in the building's recent history.
