2006 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032

Situated in Washington Heights, 2006 Amsterdam Avenue is a 6-story, 18-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Bijan Nassi. The building has experienced numerous maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with active violations as of September 2024 including problems with apartment 2B's safety systems (non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), pest infestations (roaches), water supply issues, and various maintenance concerns including a defective refrigerator gasket and plaster work.

The property shows a concerning history regarding exterior maintenance requirements, with multiple active ECB violations related to failure to submit required facade inspection reports (valued at $25,000 in penalties) and problems with window A/C unit installations. Recent service requests in 2024 indicate ongoing concerns with appliances and flooring conditions.

The building's maintenance history reveals persistent issues requiring attention, particularly in apartment 2B, which has documented violations for inadequate safety devices and pest problems. While the building has passed its most recent rodent inspections (2024 and 2023), there was one failed inspection in 2022 showing rat activity, and appliance and plumbing issues have been recurring themes, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints throughout 2024. The property has some positive attributes, including a clean bedbug record for the past several years (2018-2020), though its overall pattern of active violations and service requests suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that require monitoring.
