945 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

The five-story, 13-unit Old Law Tenement building at 945 Amsterdam Avenue, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Maria Anteri, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. The building has demonstrated consistent rodent control success, passing all inspections between 2013 and 2024. Recent building management has shown attention to bedbug prevention, with all three annual reports from 2021 to 2024 reporting zero infested or re-infested units.

The most significant cluster of issues occurred in early 2019, when multiple violations were documented including broken window guards, smoke detector problems, and pest-related matters. There were also specific maintenance issues in Apartment 2A during 2019 involving bathroom ceiling problems, including water leaks, plaster issues, and electrical concerns, though these were eventually addressed. More recent violations have mainly focused on the need for proper maintenance of public areas, particularly regarding fire retardant plaster and paint conditions in the first-story public hall, as well as issues with an electrical outlet cover.

The building's systems have generally passed inspections for heat/hot water (as of January 2019) and air quality concerns. While there have been some external complaints regarding parking lot lights and vent/exhaust issues in 2023-2024, these were found to be unsubstantiated upon inspection. The building has also maintained regular rodent inspections with consistently passing results, suggesting effective pest management protocols are in place.
