1764 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031

1764 Amsterdam Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by David Tennenbaum. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with particularly notable problems related to water leaks and heating systems. Most recently, in March 2024, there were complaints about heavy water flow and ceiling plaster issues that HPD could not inspect due to access issues, and an earlier water leak incident in January 2024 that resulted in violations.

The building has also faced multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2023, with similar access issues preventing proper inspections. Other maintenance concerns include flooring problems, both in common areas and individual units, and various issues with paint and plaster. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025, with all but one passing inspection, though a rat activity finding was noted in May 2022.

Safety violations have been addressed over time, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 3R (2022), and various repair orders for different units including issues with floor integrity and fire safety materials in common areas. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean bedbug report record for the past several years, with no infestations or eradications reported in any unit from 2018 through 2024. The property has demonstrated some proactive maintenance with multiple repairs being certified, though access issues remain a recurring challenge for inspection purposes.
