1492 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031
1492 Amsterdam Avenue is a 6-story, 18-unit residential building located in Harlem, built in 1905 and currently owned by Lenore Browne. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024 and 2025, particularly regarding plumbing systems, with multiple complaints about basins/sinks and radiators in both emergency and non-emergency situations. Recent complaints from March 2025 include issues with radiators and sink problems, though these were ultimately closed with no violations issued.
A concerning pattern has emerged regarding pest control, with several documented rodent sightings between 2024 and 2025, including multiple instances of rat activity requiring bait application and inspections showing either rat activity or the need for pest control measures. The property has received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and complaints, particularly in and around Apartment 1C, which has documented issues with ceiling plaster, water leaks, and the need for paint repairs as of July 2024. Apartment 6C has also been cited for flooring issues and an inoperable smoke detector.
While some older complaints from 2024 regarding flooring and ceiling issues have been resolved, there remains an open complaint from January 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage. The building's maintenance history shows both recurring plumbing issues and periodic pest control measures, with a total of seven complaints regarding rodent sightings from late 2024 to 2025, though recent inspections (including June 2025) have shown improvements with "Passed" results. Notably, the building has maintained a record of zero reported bedbug infestations over the past several years, with regular monitoring through December 2024 showing no affected units.
