814 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

814 Amsterdam Avenue is a 15-story, 44-unit residential building located in New York City's Upper West Side, completed in 2018 and currently owned by 812 Amsterdam Owner LLC. The property has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent months, particularly between May and June 2025, with multiple open complaints related to heat/hot water issues, plumbing problems, and unsanitary conditions. These include ongoing problems with the building's hot water system, ventilation system, and plumbing fixtures in multiple units.

A drinking water tank complaint from May 2025 is also still under investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building has a documented history of rodent presence, with inspections showing rat activity as recent as May 2023, though it passed inspections in October 2023 and June 2025. The building has open violations from an October 2023 inspection of apartment 4D, including issues with the bathroom ventilation system, carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, intercom system, and various repairs needed to comply with housing codes.

While the building's management has generally responded to violations, as evidenced by several being closed between 2023-2024, including past issues with bathtub caulking and plastered surfaces. The Department of Buildings records show regular permit activity, primarily during 2019, and there have been multiple instances of failure to file required energy benchmarking reports between 2019-2024, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. The building's bedbug report filings from 2020-2024 indicate no infestations, and while there have been various complaints about building systems and conditions, most have been resolved, with the exception of several open complaints as of mid-2025.
