Augrented Insights Report for 1260 Amsterdam Avenue

The 6-story, 29-unit New Law Tenement building at 1260 Amsterdam Avenue in Morningside Heights, built in 1901 and currently owned by Zachary Broder, has experienced numerous maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been persistent activity related to unauthorized construction work, particularly during 2023-2024, with multiple complaints about work being done without proper permits, including electrical work and exterior modifications. The building has active violations related to unpermitted electrical signage from November 2023, with a $5,000 penalty imposed, and previously undocumented exterior work in March 2023 that was resolved without penalties.

While the building has consistently filed its annual bedbug reports showing no infestations from 2019 through 2024, rodent control has been a significant challenge, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025 indicating repeated rat activity, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 have shown some improvement. The property has a history of 311 complaints, including a vaccine mandate violation in late 2021, and numerous Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023. The building has faced challenges in maintaining compliance with Environmental Control Board requirements, particularly regarding the certification of corrections for immediately hazardous violations, with several active and dismissed violations recorded between 2019 and 2024.

While some violations have been resolved, including various ECB violations from 2019 and 2023, there are currently active DOB violations as of March 2024. The building's management has generally addressed most violations when cited, though the frequency of construction-related complaints and rat activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed, indicating some progress in pest management, though earlier inspections had documented rat activity as recently as 2024.
