1532 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031
The 6-story, 23-unit tenement building at 1532 Amsterdam Avenue, owned by Imbat Realty LLC and constructed in 1905, has experienced numerous maintenance challenges, particularly in 2025. Recent complaints from May 2025 show multiple access issues for HPD inspections regarding heat/hot water problems, water supply concerns, and window frame issues, though some complaints were investigated without violations being found. These recent concerns follow a pattern of plumbing and sanitation issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests in 2025 including plumbing problems, unsanitary conditions related to pests and mold, and electrical issues.
The building has an active rodent problem, with several inspections in 2025 (most recently in June) confirming rat activity. Significant violations from late 2024 include multiple Class C violations in basement apartment 23, involving pest infestations (both roaches and mice), missing safety devices (smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector), and a broken window guard. There are also outstanding violations from a December 2024 inspection regarding self-closing doors and waste management requirements.
The Department of Buildings has recorded several work-related issues, including complaints about work without permits in 2021 and 2025, with the most recent 2025 complaint resulting in a Partial Stop Work Order. The building's environmental conditions have been monitored for bedbugs, with reports from 2022 through 2024 showing no infestations, though there have been multiple rodent activity confirmations between 2024 and 2025. While some historical violations have been resolved, including garbage storage issues from 2024, the building's maintenance record over recent years shows persistent challenges that affect multiple systems and safety features throughout the property.
