794 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

794 Amsterdam Avenue is a five-story, 10-unit old law tenement building located in the Upper West Side, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Scott Goldenberg. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with the most recent complaint from December 2024 about no heat or hot water affecting the entire building, following similar incidents in 2020-2021. The property has also faced various maintenance challenges, including pest problems (with multiple complaints in 2023), water leaks, and unsanitary conditions.

A notable health concern was documented in 2022 when approximately 6 sq. ft. of visible mold was found in Apartment 2W's kitchen, though this violation was later closed. The building experienced significant structural concerns in late 2023, with complaints about building shaking and vibrations leading to a violation notice for failure to maintain building code compliance, specifically regarding loose and missing wood dental trim molding over the commercial space windows along Amsterdam Avenue.

The property has maintained a relatively good record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past several years, though there was a minor outbreak in 2018-2019 involving two units. Rodent control efforts have been ongoing, with the most recent inspections in 2024 showing the building passing inspections, though there were periods of rat activity noted in early 2023 requiring bait application. A health department investigation in 2022 documented rat sightings, and sanitary conditions in garbage storage areas were a concern in 2019. The building's maintenance history also shows attention to various other issues, including stairway conditions and food safety concerns in commercial spaces, with most complaints being investigated and resolved, though not always resulting in formal violations.
