2264 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032

Fountain House Homes Development Fund Corporation's 21-unit, 5-story residential building at 2264 Amsterdam Avenue in Washington Heights, constructed in 1989, is currently facing multiple open maintenance issues as of mid-2025. Most notably, there are four recent complaints filed in June 2025 concerning various maintenance issues that remain unresolved, including unsanitary conditions related to pests, window frame problems, ceiling paint issues, and plumbing concerns in the bathtub/shower. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water problems in 2025, with complaints filed in April and January that required HPD intervention.

While the building has passed several rodent inspections between 2014-2024, revealing no significant pest infestation, it has faced multiple challenges with heating systems, plumbing, and maintenance issues. The building's maintenance history reveals some concerning patterns, including a cluster of violations identified in December 2022 involving Apartment 5B, where issues were documented regarding electrical outlets, bathroom fixtures, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various repairs needed in public areas. The property also faced elevator service complaints in 2018 and 2020, though these were resolved without finding violations.

Records show regular bedbug reporting periods with no infestations reported between 2021-2024, suggesting effective pest management protocols are in place. An Environmental Control Board violation from 2020 regarding outside communication systems resulted in a $1,562 penalty, which has since been resolved. The building has seen some improvements in recent months, as evidenced by the passing of rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, while the most recent bedbug report for 2024-2025 shows no infested or re-infested units.
