1722 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031

1722 Amsterdam Avenue is a 12-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Mariel Arismendy. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns being a plumbing water supply issue in November 2024 and a pest infestation report in September 2024 that could not be inspected. Between 2022-2023, several significant maintenance problems were reported, including building-wide heat and hot water outages, window frame issues, and fire escape safety concerns.

Multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests were filed during 2022, along with appliance problems and water leakage issues. The building has also faced structural and safety concerns, as evidenced by building shaking complaints in 2018 and subsequent violations related to building maintenance requirements. Inspection records show varying results regarding rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing passed results, though there were multiple instances of rat activity noted in 2023-2024. The building has undergone several repairs and addressed multiple violations, including those related to water leaks, mold, and damaged surfaces, particularly focusing on addressing issues in apartment 4FN.

Noteworthy violations were recorded in 2022 regarding bulkhead door conditions and fire retardant materials in the public hall on the 5th story, though most of these violations were certified as corrected. The building's recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 show no infestation issues during the reporting periods, indicating effective management of this particular concern. While many complaints have been addressed and closed, there remain some ongoing maintenance patterns worth noting, particularly regarding heating systems, water supply, and pest management, suggesting a need for continued monitoring of building systems and conditions. The property has maintained compliance with recent rodent inspections, which is a positive indicator of current maintenance efforts.
