2134 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032
2134 Amsterdam Avenue is a 5-story, 41-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Kathy Pena. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in recent months. As of April 2025, there are multiple open complaints with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding water leaks (slow leak), ceiling paint/plaster issues, and bathtub/shower plumbing problems, in addition to an ongoing heat/hot water emergency situation.
Historical data shows a pattern of similar issues, including heat/hot water problems in December 2020 and various plumbing concerns in 2019-2020. The building has also faced structural and safety concerns, as evidenced by a 2025 active complaint regarding a malfunctioning elevator, and previous complaints about building shaking/vibration in early 2025 which was investigated but resulted in no violations. The property has been subject to several violations related to building management requirements, including multiple bedbug reporting violations between 2020-2024 (though the most recent report for 2023-2024 shows zero infested units). There are currently two active Environmental Control Board violations from March 2024, with penalties related to failure to comply with previous commissioners' orders from 2020, and a violation from December 2020 regarding unauthorized occupancy involving two vehicles behind a steel fence.
The building has maintained a good record in terms of rodent inspections, passing all inspections conducted from 2015 through 2024. Recent administrative violations concerning energy efficiency benchmarking and boiler inspection reporting from 2021-2024 have all been dismissed or resolved. The property has a documented history of both urgent and non-urgent maintenance issues, with a concentration of problems related to water infrastructure, heating systems, and building maintenance. While many historical violations have been resolved, the pattern of recent complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and systems.
