1883 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032

The five-story, 20-unit old law tenement building at 1883 Amsterdam Avenue, owned by Shaul Koplowitz, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent months. Between July and August 2024, there were multiple complaints about water leaks, including incidents of heavy flow that resulted in violations being issued. The building has also faced problems with mold, ceiling damage requiring paint/plaster repairs, and issues with door functionality.

More concerning are the recent violations noted in Apartment 3A, including water leak issues, mold problems, and pest infestations, though these were certified as addressed by late 2024. The building's intercom system has been a recurring concern, with violations documented in multiple inspections throughout 2024. While there were some recent violations regarding general building conditions in common areas (stairs and public halls), these have also been addressed.

The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status, with no reported infestations in the past seven reporting periods from 2019 to 2024. Rat activity has been identified during inspections in 2023-2024, though recent inspections from August 2024 and February 2025 have passed without issues. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of emergency and non-emergency complaints, with most recent issues being addressed through proper channels, though inspections often showed various deficiencies requiring attention. The Department of Buildings shows one document from May 2019 related to electrical work (Job Number: 140850924), though no subsequent permits or work have been recorded in recent years.
