Augrented Insights Report for 2172 Amsterdam Avenue

As of July 2025, 2172 Amsterdam Avenue is a 5-story, 13-unit Old Law Tenement building in Washington Heights, owned by Steven Croman, with significant ongoing maintenance issues. Most recently, there are open complaints regarding window frame issues (April 2025) and a pattern of plumbing and water supply problems (including water leaks) dating back to early 2025 that were closed without timely access for inspection. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints between October 2024 and January 2025, some resulting in HPD violations.

Apartment 43 has been particularly problematic, showing multiple violations in 2024 including water leaks, damaged plaster, and pest issues, along with active safety concerns regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The property has faced serious legal and regulatory challenges, including multiple active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2024 related to unauthorized electrical, plumbing, and general construction work, with penalties totaling over $40,000. There are also significant concerns regarding illegal unit conversion, with violations issued in 2023-2024 regarding unauthorized cellar apartment occupancy and modifications.

The building's maintenance history shows persistent access issues for inspections, leading to many complaints being closed without proper resolution. However, the property has maintained a clean record for bedbugs (zero reported infestations in recent filings) and has passed recent rodent inspections. The Department of Buildings has documented multiple permit issuances in 2019-2020 for various types of work, though recent violations suggest non-permitted work may have occurred.
