1724 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031

1724 Amsterdam Avenue is a 5-story, 14-unit residential building located in Hamilton Heights, owned by Mariel Arismendy and constructed in 1929 as an old law tenement. The building has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years, with significant issues recurring throughout 2023-2024. Most notably, there are current open complaints regarding water leaks (slow leaks) and mold/unsanitary conditions as of June 2025.

The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with multiple water leak complaints filed through 2023-2024, including both slow and heavy flow issues. Apartment 3RN has been particularly affected, showing a pattern of complaints and violations including water leaks, mold, and pest infestations, as well as issues with the ceiling's plastered surfaces and paint. The property has also faced rodent control challenges, with multiple inspections showing rat activity, though recent inspections in 2025 have passed.

A concerning cluster of complaints and violations occurred in early 2024, including problems with smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 3RN. Earlier records from 2019 indicate historical maintenance issues, including violations related to building code compliance and failure to certify corrections of hazardous conditions, resulting in Environmental Control Board penalties. While there have been no bedbug reports filed in recent years (2020-2025), the building's overall maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to basic habitability issues is required. The property has consistently filed annual bedbug reports showing no infestations, which is a positive aspect of its maintenance record.
