Augrented Insights Report for 1997 Amsterdam Avenue

1997 Amsterdam Avenue is a 6-story, 26-unit New Law Tenement building located in Washington Heights and built in 1907, currently owned by Dov Schreiber. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed in November 2023, though these were reportedly resolved after HPD intervention.

Water-related problems have also been significant, with two heavy flow leak complaints in May 2023, one resulting in violations. More recent concerns include rodent activity, with inspections in late 2024 through early 2025 showing ongoing rat presence, though bait was applied in February 2025.

The building underwent a Department of Buildings inspection in November 2024, which resulted in a violation for exterior maintenance issues, with rotted metal trim and open masonry on the Amsterdam Avenue side between the 5th and 6th floors, leading to a $1,250 penalty. A comprehensive inspection in June 2024 identified several violations in Apartment 1D, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, ceiling plaster, and self-closing doors, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected. The building's maintenance history shows consistent monitoring for bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past five years, and generally passing rodent inspections, particularly since 2018, though recent inspections in 2024 noted rat activity.
