Augrented Insights Report for 944 Amsterdam Avenue

The 12-unit, 5-story building at 944 Amsterdam Avenue in the Upper West Side, owned by Howard Hershkovich, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems. Most recently, in early 2025, the building experienced heat/hot water issues in February, December 2024, and November 2024, with all three incidents showing similar patterns of HPD being unable to gain access to inspect the conditions.

The building has also faced multiple infrastructure challenges, including plumbing issues with bathtubs/showers (May 2024), electrical problems including wiring concerns (April 2024), and various maintenance issues in April 2024 involving ceilings, windows, and pest control. The property has documented violations, particularly in 2024, related to health and safety concerns. Apartment 3A was noted for multiple violations in May 2024, including pest infestations (roaches and mice), while apartment 4B had several documented issues in August 2023, including bathroom maintenance problems and pest concerns.

The building has undergone three pest inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023, all passing, and has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with no reported cases from 2019 to 2024. Noteworthy complaints include two attempted inspections for illegal hotel room usage in March 2023 (access denied) and a building shaking complaint in May 2024, though no violations were warranted for either. The most recent inspection in early 2025 passed with no major findings, suggesting some improvement in building conditions.
