760 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

Located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, 760 Amsterdam Avenue is a 7-story, 44-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Morris Schreiber. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, including ongoing concerns about lead dust as of April 2025, a food poisoning incident in June 2025 which was determined to be isolated by health authorities, and previous pest problems in early 2025. The property has faced multiple maintenance challenges since late 2023, including plumbing issues, mold, and water supply problems in December 2023, as well as heating and hot water concerns in April 2024. The building underwent inspections that revealed various violations, particularly in apartment 5B, where lead paint hazards and deteriorated surfaces were documented in August 2024, though these violations were subsequently certified as corrected.

The building's recent history includes multiple complaints about work being done without proper permits, with several inspections finding the inspector unable to gain access. The property has also experienced structural concerns, including a complaint about building shaking in July 2023. While rodent inspections in 2024 showed passing results, there were documented rat activity issues in 2022 and 2019. The building's maintenance record shows regular permit issuances for various repairs and maintenance work between 2018 and 2021, suggesting ongoing efforts to address building systems and infrastructure.

The property's bedbug reporting history indicates relatively low infestation rates, with only one unit affected in 2022 and none reported in the most recent 2024 filing. The building's recent environmental control board violations, particularly from July 2023, documented disrepair conditions including cracks, spalling paint, and water damage in apartment 7C, resulting in a penalty of $625. Multiple housing maintenance code complaints have been filed and addressed, including issues with paint/plaster conditions in walls and ceilings, flooring concerns, and safety violations related to construction work. The Department of Buildings has conducted inspections under the Work Without Permits Watch List Compliance category, and while some complaints have been dismissed based on lack of access, there have been documented violations that required correction.
