2183 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032

2183 Amsterdam Avenue is a 6-story, 12-unit converted New Law tenement building in Washington Heights, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Maria Lizardo. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade, with the most recent concern being an active Cycle 9C unsafe report filed in February 2024 regarding the building's facade. Between 2018-2020, there were multiple emergency service requests indicating serious infrastructure problems, including heat and hot water outages, an electrical power outage, plumbing issues, and fire escape safety concerns, though all of these complaints were ultimately closed without violations being issued.

The building underwent some structural repairs in 2017, with violations recorded for a leaking roof, defective plaster surfaces in unit 6A, and damaged fire-retardant material in the 6th-story public hall, though these violations are listed as closed. The property has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years, though there were two units affected in 2018-2019 which were subsequently eradicated. Recent rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with rat activity detected during inspections in October and November 2024, though bait was applied during inspections in January and March 2025.

Facade safety has been a recurring issue, with penalties imposed in 2019 and 2021 related to unsafe conditions and failure to provide proper safety measures during repairs, though these violations have since been resolved. The building's permit history shows limited recent activity, with only one permit issued in August 2020 for exterior work. While many historical issues have been addressed, the active facade report from 2024 and recent rodent activity suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
