928 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

928 Amsterdam Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, built in 1920 and currently owned by Victor Arcos. The building has experienced recurring moisture-related issues, with multiple unsanitary condition complaints specifically citing mold problems in late 2024 and early 2025, though HPD inspections found no violations in several of these cases. There have been two major heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building, one in 2022 that resulted in violations for Apartment 3, and another in 2023 where inspectors could not gain access for evaluation.

Other notable concerns have included door/window issues (especially with a delay in resolution from January 2022), a malfunctioning intercom system in 2022, and a fire escape safety complaint in late 2021. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to pest control, with all bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 indicating zero infestations, and rodent inspections from 2018 to 2025 consistently passing. There was one food poisoning incident in early 2024 that was determined to be isolated.

During the pandemic, there was a construction-related violation in 2020 regarding non-compliance with COVID-19 executive orders, which resulted in a $5,000 penalty that has been resolved. All recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) show no infestation or eradication cases, and the most recent rodent inspection from January 2025 passed successfully. The building's documented complaints and violations show a pattern of maintenance challenges typical of older buildings, particularly regarding heating systems and moisture control, though many recent inspections have shown compliance with basic safety and maintenance requirements.
