1201 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027

1201 Amsterdam Avenue, a 10-story, 116-unit New Law Tenement built in 1912 and currently owned by Monica Kuth, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past five years. Most notably, the building has had recurring problems with heat and hot water, including a November 2019 emergency complaint about lack of heat/hot water, which was investigated by HPD though no violations were issued. There are also multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2024, though the building has maintained a clean record with zero reported infestations in their most recent filings from 2024.

The property has faced various challenges with building systems and compliance requirements. As of April 2024, there is an active violation regarding the failure to file the FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report by the deadline. In 2019, there was a significant issue regarding an expired Certificate of Occupancy for eating and drinking establishments, resulting in a $6,250 fine that remains active, though previous related complaints about the certificate were closed.

The building has undergone several rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passing, though there were reports of rat activity and bait application in 2022. Multiple permits have been issued between 2019 and 2024 for various works, including plumbing and electrical maintenance, though the specific nature of these works is not detailed in the available data. The building's management has been responsive to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by multiple permit applications and inspections, though the pattern of bedbug reporting violations and ongoing issues with heat/hot water systems suggests some inconsistency in maintenance practices.
