1784 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031

The 5-story, 9-unit building at 1784 Amsterdam Avenue in Hamilton Heights, owned by Edgecombe Preservation LLC, has faced persistent maintenance issues in recent months. As of April 2025, there are multiple open complaints regarding water-related problems, including slow leaks in March 2025 and plumbing issues in bathtubs/showers. The building has experienced recurring heating issues, with several heat/hot water complaints filed between January and April 2025, though inspection access has often been denied or unavailable, resulting in unresolved conditions.

The building's maintenance history shows particular challenges in apartment 3A, which has multiple open and closed violations related to water leaks, mold, and bathroom fixture problems, including violations for water leaks, defective faucets, and various ceiling/wall issues documented between 2024 and 2025. The property has maintained a generally good record in areas such as pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, and it has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted throughout 2018 to 2025. However, there was a significant environmental violation noted in May 2020 regarding improper fire stopping installation in the ground-level commercial space, though this was resolved with no penalty.

Recent inspections have revealed ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly relating to water systems and heating, with multiple open violations as of 2024-2025. The building's management has been cited for multiple instances of failing to provide proper access for inspections, which has complicated resolution efforts for various maintenance issues. All bedbug and rodent inspections between 2018 and 2025 have resulted in passing grades, indicating effective pest management.
