Augrented Insights Report for 1739 Amsterdam Avenue

1739 Amsterdam Avenue is a 14-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1926 in the Hamilton Heights neighborhood, currently owned by Chung Lee. The building has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly during 2024, when multiple complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water issues throughout the building, water leaks (including heavy flow), and unsanitary conditions. Of particular note is a recent complaint from August 2024 regarding mold, which was inspected by HPD and resulted in violations being issued.

The building's systems and infrastructure have shown persistent problems, with multiple heat/hot water complaints in March 2024, followed by violations related to water leaks and various maintenance issues. The property has several open violations as of October 2024, including issues with fire retardant material and painting requirements in public hallways on the 4th and 5th stories. Apartment 23 appears to have significant ongoing issues, with violations for rodent infestation (both mice and roaches), water leak problems, and mold conditions noted in August 2024.

The building's history shows a concerning pattern of rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025 showing either rat activity or the need for bait application. Additionally, there are two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2021 related to work without proper permits, with significant penalties imposed, though one has a balance due of $0. While some recent inspections have shown "Passed" results, indicating potential improvements in pest control, the building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with basic systems and infrastructure.
