1704 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031
The five-story, 35-unit tenement building at 1704 Amsterdam Avenue in Hamilton Heights, owned by Kelsey Cantrell and constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025. The building currently faces multiple violations related to unsanitary conditions, particularly persistent mold problems, with three separate complaints between March and April 2025 alone. Recent inspections have documented various infrastructure concerns, including plumbing problems (bathtub/shower and sink issues), appliance malfunctions (refrigerator and electric gas range), and safety concerns regarding flooring and fire escape access.
Notably, two complaints from March 2025 regarding safety and security features were not able to be fully inspected by HPD. The building's violation history reveals ongoing maintenance challenges, with multiple housing maintenance code violations issued between late 2022 and 2024. These include issues with self-closing doors, water leaks, and heating system access.
The property has experienced several difficulty-access inspection situations, particularly regarding boiler-related complaints in 2022 and 2024, though a 2020 ECB violation regarding water leaking from the heating system was resolved with a penalty. The building has maintained regular rodent inspection compliance, passing all inspections in 2025 and showing no evidence of infestation in recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024. While the property has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by closed violations and repairs, the recent pattern of mold and plumbing issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
