Augrented Insights Report for 1709 Amsterdam Avenue

1709 Amsterdam Avenue is a 16-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building located in Hamilton Heights, built in 1897 and currently owned by Scott Berman. The property has been experiencing recurring issues with heating and hot water, particularly evident in 2025 with multiple complaints (February-March 2025) regarding lack of heat/hot water affecting the entire building, though inspections often failed to gain access for verification.

Other significant recent concerns include a defective/inoperative boiler violation in October 2024 with associated safety issues (exposed wiring, openings on walls/ceilings) and a building shaking complaint in January 2023 that resulted in an Oath violation. The building's facade has history of disrepair, with 2023 violations noting issues like spalling brick and missing mortar joints. The property has shown some maintenance activity through the resolution of several housing maintenance code violations, particularly in mid-2023, addressing issues in apartments 22, 52, and 53 related to plumbing fixtures and various surface repairs.

There is also an active violation related to failure to file a 2019 external low-pressure inspection. Building systems have experienced various problems in recent years, including electrical issues with power outages and lighting in 2023, along with rodent inspections showing variable results between 2023-2025, with bait application indicating ongoing pest management efforts. The building has maintained a bedbug-free record over recent reporting periods (2019-2025), and multiple 311 service requests have been filed, primarily related to heat and hot water concerns despite many being categorized as duplicates or closing without access verification.
