2236 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032

The 33-unit New Law Tenement at 2236 Amsterdam Avenue, owned by Avraham Dishi, has been experiencing recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with multiple complaints filed between February and March 2025. The building, constructed in 1909, has documented several heat-related incidents, including both apartment-specific and entire building complaints, with at least one related to a door/window problem that remains open as of 2025.

A general maintenance inspection in April 2024 revealed multiple violations requiring attention, including issues with self-closing doors, fire retardant materials, and sanitary conditions in public areas. The building has demonstrated generally good pest control management, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2021 and successful rodent inspections in 2024, though there was one recorded rat activity inspection in December 2023. Historical records show various maintenance and compliance issues, including a significant complaint in 2021 regarding blocked egress and multiple violations related to unpermitted work in 2021 involving improper cellar modifications, though these were ultimately resolved with no penalties imposed.

The building's systems and maintenance history indicates ongoing challenges with basic services, particularly heating, which appears to be a recurring issue requiring frequent tenant reporting and agency intervention. Recent building-wide inspections and 311 complaints suggest that while some issues have been addressed promptly, there are still ongoing concerns with building systems requiring attention, particularly in terms of heat and hot water reliability. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no recent infestations, and has generally passed regular rodent inspections, though there have been occasional reports of rat activity.
