1439 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027

1439 Amsterdam Avenue is a 5-story, 9-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Luis Nunez. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, as evidenced by two heat/hot water complaints in recent years (most recently in November 2024 and previously in October 2022). The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including electrical issues (outlets and switches), door and window repairs, and plumbing problems, particularly in Apartment 4A, which had multiple violations in 2020 including mold, plumbing leaks, and various door-related issues.

While the building has consistently filed bedbug reports showing zero infestations from 2019 through 2024, it did receive two bedbug reporting violations (in 2021 and 2022) which were subsequently closed. The building underwent significant inspections and received several violations between 2020 and 2022, including two inspections in 2021 that documented issues with the facade, including cracks above window lintels and concerns with the roof-level enclosure for exposure pipes. However, most of these violations have been resolved, with the exception of an active Department of Buildings violation from October 2021 regarding facade conditions.

The property has maintained a clean record in recent years regarding rodent inspections, passing all inspections conducted between 2015 and 2025. The building also experienced a smoking/vaping violation in 2024, though details of the resolution were not specified. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to complaints are evident, with most issues being addressed and closed, though some complaints indicate ongoing or recurring problems that require tenant cooperation for resolution, such as the November 2024 heat/hot water complaint.
