1842 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031

1842 Amsterdam Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Hamilton Heights, owned by Javier Martinez and constructed in 1880. The property has experienced recent safety concerns in 2025, with two emergency complaints regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that resulted in HPD inspections where access was not granted for evaluation. Historical records show consistent attention to bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent filing in July 2025 showing no infested units between November 2023 and October 2024.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with passing results in 2023-2025, though there were documented rat activity incidents in late 2022 during November and March inspections. Bedbug reporting compliance has been maintained, with zero reported infested units in the past four years. The property has a documented history of violations requiring annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024, which were subsequently closed.

Earlier building history reveals several infrastructure concerns from 2000-2011, including inadequate front entrance lighting requirements, which were addressed and certified as corrected in 2022, and an issue with painted sprinkler heads in the public hall noted in 2004. The building's recent inspections have generally been positive, with multiple rodent inspections passing and only one instance of rat activity recorded in November 2022. The property has demonstrated ongoing maintenance of safety systems, though recent access issues during safety inspections in 2025 raise potential concerns about communication and accessibility for safety inspections.
