1980 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032

The three-story, 14-unit residential building at 1980 Amsterdam Avenue in Washington Heights, dating back to 1900, has experienced several significant events in recent years. Most notably, there is currently an active Environmental Control Board violation from July 2024 regarding unfiled final inspections of permitted work related to interior construction and a street-level commercial space (specifically mentioning a Pizza Hut), with an associated penalty of $1,280. In July 2024, a food poisoning complaint involving three or more cases was reported and investigated by the Health Department, though it was determined to be an isolated incident.

The building has undergone regular compliance inspections, including multiple Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections in 2022 and 2024, with recent violations being served by Oath. A historical stop-work order was issued in November 2019 related to construction work, though it was subsequently rescinded. The property has demonstrated good pest management practices, with consistent rodent control inspections passing from 2015 through 2024, and bedbug reports showing no infestations or eradications reported between 2020 and 2024.

The building has maintained compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements, filing annual bedbug reports as required. Multiple Department of Buildings inspections between 2019 and 2022 (including CSE Sweeps and Special Operations Compliance Inspections) have generally found no violations warranting action. The property has shown responsiveness to regulatory requirements, with various permits issued between 2018 and 2019 for construction work, though the recent ECB violation regarding final inspections remains unresolved.
