784 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

784 Amsterdam Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Joseph Vodjany. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with two significant incidents in 2024 and 2025 affecting both the entire building and individual apartments. The 2024 inspection revealed multiple Class C violations, including inadequate hot water in apartments 2A and 3A, an infestation of mice and roaches in apartment 3A, and several safety concerns such as a locked heating system basement door, improper door closure mechanisms, and missing required notices regarding heating system access.

While some of these violations were later marked as closed, several remain open as of the latest records. The building has demonstrated consistent compliance with rodent inspections over the past decade, passing all inspections from 2015 through 2024, and has shown no bedbug infestations in the past five years. Recent maintenance issues include an unresolved violation from April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, while a May 2023 inspection noted a missing support bracket for a window A/C unit on the third floor.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved issues, particularly regarding heating systems and sanitation. In addition to the current heating problems, past complaints include garbage/recycling storage issues noted in 2020 and pest problems in 2018. While the building has relatively few serious violations compared to others in the area, the recurring nature of heating system problems and the recent cluster of violations in 2024-2025 raise concerns about building maintenance consistency. The property has generally maintained good standing in terms of rodent control, with regular inspections showing compliance, and the absence of reported bedbug infestations in recent years suggests effective pest management.
