941 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

941 Amsterdam Avenue is a 5-story, 12-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Maurice Gomez. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding its boiler system. In 2024, there were two separate violations related to boiler defects, with inspections revealing unsafe conditions including exposed wires, incomplete combustion evidence, and smoking issues, resulting in $1,250 in penalties.

The building has also faced recurring rodent problems, with multiple inspections between 2021 and 2024 showing evidence of rat activity, though the most recent inspection in August 2024 had a passing result. A cluster of health department complaints in late 2023 to early 2024 raised concerns about food safety, including multiple reports of spoiled food and two instances of food poisoning involving three or more cases, which were determined to be isolated incidents. The building's maintenance history shows periodic issues with basic services, including water leaks and heating problems.

Between 2019 and 2021, there were documented complaints about water leaks, damp spots, and various violations in Apartment 3E related to floor conditions, fire escape access, and door functionality. The property has maintained compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to 2024, showing no reported infestations during this period. While there have been numerous maintenance complaints and violations recorded, most have been addressed through proper channels, with only a few remaining open or unresolved issues, including a 2021 violation regarding paint requirements in a public hall area. The building's overall record shows a pattern of responsive management addressing most reported issues, though the recent boiler violations and persistent rodent activity indicate ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control.
