Augrented Insights Report for 1821 Amsterdam Avenue

1821 Amsterdam Avenue, a 132-unit, 7-story building constructed in 1984 in Hamilton Heights and currently owned by Jessica Echols, has experienced ongoing heating and sanitation issues over the past two years. The building has had numerous heat and hot water complaints, with emergency service requests filed between January 2024 and May 2025, often reporting insufficient access for inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Notably, there was one instance in December 2024 where a unit (5K) was found with scalding hot water at 139°F, leading to violations related to inadequate heat supply and self-closing door issues. The building has also faced persistent rodent issues, with multiple inspections in 2025 indicating rat activity and bait application as recently as June 2025. Additional concerns include various Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly throughout 2024-2025, including issues with self-closing doors in multiple units (2E, 3D, and 5F) and a carbon monoxide detector violation in unit 2E.

The building's elevator system has generated multiple complaints between 2019 and 2024, though inspections generally found no violations. While the property has one documented bedbug infestation in 2021, more recent filings (2022-2025) show no infestations. The building's maintenance history shows some pattern of addressing violations, such as the resolution of self-closing door issues identified in 2024, though the recurring nature of heating system complaints suggests ongoing concerns.
