2220 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032
2220 Amsterdam Avenue is a 6-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement building in Washington Heights, constructed in 1911 and currently managed by owner Mike Spira. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water outages throughout 2024 and early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants during January 2024 and December 2024, some of which occurred building-wide and others in individual apartments. The building has also faced significant pest control challenges, evidenced by multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions due to pests in both 2024 and 2025.
Most recently, in January 2025, two separate pest-related complaints resulted in HPD violations being issued. The building's rodent control efforts have been ongoing, with multiple bait applications recorded throughout 2024 and early 2025. In addition to these recurring maintenance issues, the building has several active Department of Buildings violations related to the failure to file required inspections.
These include multiple violations from 2018 to 2023 regarding external low pressure inspections, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024. There were also notable violations in January 2024 concerning lead paint hazards in Apartment 33, which were subsequently closed after certification in February 2024. While the bedbug reporting history since 2021 shows minimal activity, with only one reported infestation in 2019-2020 that was eradicated, the building continues to face ongoing challenges with both heat and pest management as of 2025.
