1788 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031

1788 Amsterdam Avenue is a five-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Nero Graham Jr. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing current concern being an open complaint from January 2025 regarding wall paint/plaster conditions. In early 2025, there were also complaints about heating/hot water issues and unsanitary conditions related to pests, with violations issued for the heating problem that required owner correction.

The building has shown recurring maintenance concerns over the past two years, including plumbing issues (October 2023), and multiple complaints in April 2023 involving pests, mold, and a broken window guard - though most of these complaints were subsequently closed without violations, except for the window guard issue which was marked as emergency. The property has open violations regarding lead-based paint hazard control requirements for apartments 3S and 3N (June 2023) and failure to provide required lead-related documentation for apartment 4N (April 2023), which are classified as B and C violations respectively. However, the building has maintained a good track record in rodent control, passing multiple inspections from 2018 through 2025, with the most recent inspection in January 2025 showing compliance.

The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 to 2024 shows no documented infestations, with all reports indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. A 2021 complaint regarding blocked egress was investigated and found no violations. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating and pest control, the recent rodent inspections and bedbug reporting suggest active management of these particular issues, though the open violations related to lead paint remain a notable concern.
