881 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

881 Amsterdam Avenue is a 4-story, 1883 building currently owned by Isabel Cruz and classified as a converted Class B property in the Upper West Side neighborhood. The building has experienced ongoing pest management challenges, with multiple instances of rodent activity documented between 2023 and 2025, despite some inspections showing passed results, particularly in April 2025. There have been three significant plumbing-related incidents between 2023 and 2025, including a recent water supply issue in late 2024 that HPD attempted to inspect but could not complete.

The property has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past several years, with consistent reporting showing zero infested units since 2019. The building's Department of Buildings (DOB) record shows various administrative violations related to inspection filing requirements, particularly concerning external low pressure inspections from 2018-2022 and energy benchmarking reports in 2023. Most of these violations were dismissed, including a notable failure to file inspection violations issued in June 2023.

Historical records indicate past compliance issues, such as a Stop Work Order in 2020 related to construction enforcement, though this was fully rescinded. Recent building permits from 2019 and 2022 suggest ongoing maintenance and regulatory compliance efforts, with the most recent plumbing emergency being addressed by HPD in 2024. Despite periodic maintenance issues, including unsanitary conditions addressed in 2024, the building has generally maintained compliance with major health and safety standards.
