2145 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032

2145 Amsterdam Avenue is a five-story, 13-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Bahram Hakakian. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, most recently evidenced by emergency complaints in December 2024, as well as similar complaints throughout 2024 and 2021.

The building has faced ongoing pest management challenges, with documented rat activity in late 2024, and prior rodent issues noted in multiple inspections between 2021 and 2024, despite some passing inspections. Unit 4 has been a particular focus of violations, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from early 2024 requiring attention to lead-based paint hazards, electrical outlets, roach infestation, and various repair needs, though many of these violations were subsequently certified as closed between March and June 2024. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, particularly regarding boiler issues, with multiple complaints between 2021 and 2024 indicating difficulties with access during inspections.

There have been periodic concerns about the building's structural elements, including a notable complaint about building stability in December 2018, though this was ultimately served as an OATH violation. While the building has not reported bedbug infestations in recent years, the property has experienced various sanitary condition violations involving garbage storage and pest management, with multiple complaints being closed without violations found. Recent complaints from June 2025 show issues with electrical outlets and window frames, though these are still open and under investigation.
