1885 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032

1885 Amsterdam Avenue is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1940 and currently owned by Shaul Koplowitz. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in April 2024, when multiple non-emergency and emergency complaints were filed regarding various issues including unsanitary conditions (pests), electrical problems (no lighting), problems with paint and plaster (ceiling and wall), flooring issues, plumbing concerns (water supply), and window frame problems.

In December 2023, multiple violations were documented specifically in Apartment 1D, including issues with broken vinyl floor tiles, plastered surfaces, paint requirements, and a water leak problem in the bathroom, though these violations were certified as corrected by early 2024. The building's maintenance history shows an ongoing effort to address pest control matters, with the most recent bedbug report from June 2025 indicating no infested units during the 2023-2024 period.

Rodent inspections have been conducted regularly, with most recent results showing passed inspections in February 2025 and August 2024, though there were some instances of rat activity reported in late 2023. The property underwent some repair work in 2018, as evidenced by an issued permit for exterior work. The building's record shows consistent attention to mandatory reporting requirements, including regular bedbug reporting and rodent inspections, with all documented violations being addressed and closed.
