992 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

The 6-story, 28-unit building at 992 Amsterdam Avenue in the Upper West Side, owned by Doron Greenberg and constructed in 1920, is currently experiencing multiple maintenance issues as of summer 2025. Most notably, there are three open emergency complaints filed in May 2025 regarding fire escape safety, plumbing problems (including bathtub/shower issues and water supply concerns), and mold/unsanitary conditions. The building's systems have shown recurring problems, with multiple rodent sightings and conditions attracting rodents reported in 2025, despite some bait application efforts. Recent history indicates ongoing infrastructure challenges, including electrical violations in 2021 that resulted in multiple penalties totaling over $10,000 for issues such as improper grounding, unpermitted electrical work, and unsafe wiring practices.

The building has a documented pattern of maintenance and safety issues over the past several years, including heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building in 2025, plumbing violations, and various maintenance code violations across different units. Specific unit violations include issues in Apartment 1A (roaches, mice infestation, water leak, and smoke detector problems) and Apartment 6D (kitchen sink repair needs). Inspection records reveal a persistent pattern of rodent activity, with multiple inspections indicating rat presence as recently as 2025. The property has undergone various repair and maintenance activities, as evidenced by permit issuances for electrical work, plumbing repairs, and other maintenance tasks between 2019 and 2023, though some permits are listed as "In Process" as of 2023.

The bedbug report filings from 2019 to 2025 show generally low infestation rates, with only one instance of infestation in 2020. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, and recent filings indicate no current infestations. The property has undergone various regulatory inspections and correction requirements, including a significant electrical safety compliance process in 2021 that involved multiple violations and penalties for grounding and wiring issues. While some historical citations for elevator problems and exterior maintenance issues have been resolved, the building continues to experience recurring issues requiring ongoing attention from both property management and regulatory agencies.
