1650 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031

Travelers Rest HDFC, a 5-story, 8-unit residential building located at 1650 Amsterdam Avenue in Hamilton Heights, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there were two instances of heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building in early 2022 (February and April), though both issues were resolved promptly according to tenant reports.

In late 2018, the building faced multiple emergency complaints, including mold issues, a carbon monoxide detector problem, and door-related concerns, with most of these cases remaining open until early 2019. The building underwent a recent inspection on October 19, 2023, resulting in two Class A violations related to public hall maintenance requirements, specifically regarding ceiling paint and fire retardant materials, though both were certified as corrected by December 2024. The building's record shows consistent attention to bedbug prevention and control, with five consecutive annual reports (2019-2024) indicating zero infested units, successful eradication where applicable, and no re-infestations.

Rodent inspections have been mostly successful, with the most recent three inspections (2024-2025) passing, though there was one failure in April 2023. Various administrative violations have been documented and addressed over the years, including requirements for proper door functionality, safety notices, and bedbug reporting compliance. The building's management has generally responded to violations and complaints, as evidenced by the closure of multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, though some issues have required extended follow-up for resolution.
