2034 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032

The 2023 six-story, 110-unit building at 2034 Amsterdam Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Lucrecia Almanzar, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2025, with particular concerns around water supply problems. Most recently, in May 2025, there were multiple service requests regarding heat/hot water issues, plumbing problems, pests, and unsanitary conditions, with violations issued for plumbing and pest issues. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with multiple plumbing complaints in April 2025 and a water leak incident.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2024 show ongoing pest control challenges, with infestations reported in apartments 2G and 4N, along with mold and maintenance issues. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2021-2022 about devices and service interruptions, though recent inspections show no violations. Fire safety was briefly compromised in 2023 when two emergency exit stairwell doors were found blocked during painting work, resulting in a $1,250 penalty.

The property has shown some improvement in recent inspections, with all 2024 rodent inspections passing, though previous inspections in 2022-2020 generally failed for various reasons. Bedbug reports from 2022-2023 indicate fluctuating but generally decreasing infestation rates, with none reported in the most recent two years. The building's management has faced several violations related to maintenance code compliance, including elevator inspection failures and issues with self-closing doors in 2019-2020, though many violations have been resolved or dismissed through proper certification. The property has consistently reported heat and hot water issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints and housing maintenance code complaints throughout 2025, suggesting ongoing challenges with basic services.
