1453 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027
The 9-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 1453 Amsterdam Avenue in Harlem, owned by Luis Diaz, has experienced significant heating system problems throughout early 2025, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed between January and March 2025, including building-wide outages that prompted HPD interventions and inspections. The building has been subject to recurring rodent issues, with several inspections in 2024 and 2025 indicating rat activity, though bait was applied in some instances and others passed inspections.
In early 2024, the building received various Housing Maintenance Code violations, primarily affecting apartment 5A, including issues with mold at bathroom window sills, smoke and carbon monoxide detector problems, and window repairs needed. The building's security infrastructure was also addressed during this period, with violations documented regarding defective self-closing doors in the public hall.
A bedbug report from December 2024 indicated no infestation during the 2023-2024 reporting period, consistent with previous years' reports showing no infested units. A Department of Buildings complaint regarding improper vent/exhaust was filed in March 2023, but access issues prevented inspection.
