1774 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031
1774 Amsterdam Avenue is a 5-story, 28-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Douglas Peterson. The building has experienced numerous recent maintenance issues, with multiple complaints and violations emerging throughout 2025. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water (both building-wide and apartment-specific), plumbing issues, and rodent activity.
In March-April 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints about heat/hot water problems, including an emergency situation in apartment 5F where there were violations related to defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as inadequate hot water supply. The building has also faced ongoing rodent issues, with inspections in 2025 consistently showing rat activity, and a 2025 DOHMH inspection finding violations requiring follow-up. Maintenance history reveals significant problems with various building systems, including water supply issues, mold, and window problems.
An inspection from 2024 identified multiple violations, including problems with the fire escape system, while multiple 2025 complaints involved water leaks and window frame issues. The building has undergone several inspections and received various violation notices, including active ECB violations from December 2022 relating to improper gas dryer installations and unauthorized laundry equipment, with associated penalties of $1,875. While there have been periods of bedbug-free status, with the most recent reports (2023-2025) showing no infestations, the building continues to struggle with basic maintenance and safety compliance issues that impact resident quality of life.
