1235 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027
1235 Amsterdam Avenue is a 15-story, 58-unit residential building constructed in 1968, currently owned by Laura Rosenbury and located in the Morningside Heights neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with emergency complaints reported in 2023 (entire building) and 2021 (apartment only), though in 2023, housing authorities were unable to gain access for inspection. A slow water leak complaint was filed and closed in early 2024 under similar access issues.
The property has undergone facade work since 2024, with multiple construction safety compliance complaints recorded, including one stop work order that was fully rescinded, and several violations related to active scaffolding and safety equipment usage. The building has faced challenges with rodent infestations, as evidenced by multiple inspections showing rat activity from 2023 through 2025, despite ongoing bait application efforts. Two separate food establishment violations were recorded in 2022 (regarding rodent/insect/garbage issues and bare hands in food contact), along with three consecutive bedbug reporting violations between 2021-2023, though recent reports from 2023-2024 indicate no current infestation or eradication cases.
The facade repair work has generated several Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations in 2024 related to construction safety, with one including a $1,250 penalty regarding missing safety information panels. Historical records show various permit issuances and building maintenance activities, including the required annual bedbug reporting citations in 2021-2023, though recent filings indicate no current infestation cases. The building received one instance of non-compliance for failing to file a benchmarking report in 2023, which was subsequently dismissed.
