1728 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031

1728 Amsterdam Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Luis Batista and located in Hamilton Heights. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, with current open complaints as of April 2025 regarding plumbing problems in the bathtub/shower, flooring issues, and door-related concerns.

Between 2023 and 2024, the building faced various maintenance challenges including water leaks (heavy flow and damp spots), plumbing problems (toilet and radiator), and multiple unit-specific issues in Apartment 2A such as mold, door/window problems, and necessary repairs to paint/plaster, flooring, and various fixtures. Notably, a December 2024 inspection revealed multiple violations in Apartment 2A, including mold issues, defective tiles, and problems requiring repairs to comply with the Housing Maintenance Code, though these were certified as corrected by September 2024.

The building has maintained a regular schedule of rodent inspections, passing all tests from 2023-2025, and has shown consistent reporting of bedbug-free conditions in the past three years, with no infested or re-infested units reported. While the property has demonstrated some routine maintenance compliance through regular rodent inspections and bedbug reporting, the recent pattern of open maintenance complaints and the nature of the violations in Apartment 2A suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and prompt response to repair needs. The building's age and class as an Old Law Tenement are consistent with its historical status, though the current maintenance issues may impact resident comfort and safety if not addressed promptly.
