998 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

The six-story, 15-unit New Law Tenement building at 998 Amsterdam Avenue, owned by Doron Greenberg and constructed in 1912, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been ongoing rodent sightings, with multiple reports in 2025, though recent inspections have generally resulted in passing grades. The building has faced substantial plumbing-related challenges, particularly in March 2025, when multiple violations were recorded involving sinks, bathtubs/showers, and sewage issues.

A significant infestation problem was identified in July 2024 in Apartment D, requiring remediation of both roaches and mice, along with necessary repairs to walls and floors. Recent Department of Buildings activity shows various electrical and safety concerns, including two complaints about defective/exposed wiring in April 2025. There were multiple complaints regarding work without proper permits and unauthorized modifications in mid-2023, resulting in several violations.

The building's maintenance history also includes a period of stair tread repairs and safety improvements, with previous violations relating to electrical systems, including blocked access to electrical service equipment noted in July 2023. However, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases since at least 2019. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with most recent inspections generally passing, though an initial failure in January 2025 was noted for "Other Reasons."
