Augrented Insights Report for 2501 Amsterdam Avenue

2501 Amsterdam Avenue is a 7-story Class B building constructed in 1956, currently owned by Randy Apfelbaum. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues, with the most recent service requests filed in April and March 2025 regarding food establishment complaints related to rodents, insects, and garbage, though these specific complaints were ultimately closed by the NYC Health Department.

The building has demonstrated ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in the area of heat and hot water systems, with an emergency complaint filed in November 2019 that could not be inspected by HPD due to access issues. Regulatory compliance has been a concern, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, though recent filings indicate no current infestations.

The property has undergone several inspections and received various permits between 2018 and 2024, including work related to plumbing and electrical systems. Significant violations were recorded in 2019 regarding an unauthorized laundry room installation in the basement, which resulted in four Environmental Control Board violations against Yeshiva University totaling $10,250 in penalties, though records indicate these were resolved. The building's safety systems have been the subject of multiple complaints, including issues with egress, sprinkler systems, and gas utilities in late 2019, though inspections typically found no immediate violations.
