1946 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032
The 22-unit, 6-story building at 1946 Amsterdam Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Jose Sanchez, has a mixed maintenance history since its 1915 construction. Recent inspections in 2025 indicated rodent issues, with sightings reported in May and June, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene subsequently found no violations.
The building's systems have faced challenges, including multiple complaints in January 2024 regarding heating and window issues, and a December 2024 paint/plaster complaint that inspectors were unable to fully investigate due to access issues. Previous years show a pattern of building maintenance concerns, including a significant fire incident in a 2020 violation involving apartment 62, and multiple violations in apartment 51 related to broken plaster surfaces, paint requirements, and window repairs.
The property has demonstrated compliance with most regulatory requirements, with regular rodent inspections consistently passing since 2019 (except for a failed inspection in November 2022 for "Other Reasons"), and a complete lack of bedbug infestations reported in the past eight reporting periods. Two notable violations were recorded regarding the building's exterior wall maintenance: one in 2022 for failing to submit required inspection reports, and another from 2022 that remains active as of 2025 regarding the same issue. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, most recent inspections have shown improved compliance, particularly regarding bedbug and rodent control, though the recent rodent sightings in 2025 suggest this remains an ongoing concern.
