2192 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032

The 5-story, 17-unit tenement building at 2192 Amsterdam Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by David Tennenbaum, has shown ongoing maintenance challenges in 2025. Currently, there are two open emergency plumbing complaints regarding toilets as of April 2025, which represent the most pressing current issues. The building has experienced recurring problems with pests, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2025 (March and February) for unsanitary conditions, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

Plumbing issues have also been noted, including bathtub/shower problems in March 2025. In early 2024, the building was cited for various maintenance issues, particularly in Apartment 21, including problems with bathroom tiles, floor tiles, kitchen sink connections, and a water leak. The building has documented rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 showing consistent failures for various reasons, though there were some passed inspections, including a December 2023 inspection. Recent history shows the building had violations in 2024 regarding fire escape obstructions and various maintenance issues, though these have been noted as closed following repairs.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three years. Historical records show the building is over 100 years old, having been constructed in 1911. The property has had multiple plumbing and flooring issues over the past several years, with many complaints resulting in closed status due to inability of inspectors to access the units for verification. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems, particularly plumbing and pest control, though many violations have been addressed and closed through proper repairs and certifications.
