2400 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033
2400 Amsterdam Avenue is a 5-story, 12-unit New Law Tenement building located in Washington Heights and owned by Atanasio Cortez. Built in 1909, the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent being a heat/hot water complaint in May 2025 that was resolved within a day. Notable concerns were documented in April 2024, including multiple complaints about wall paint/plaster conditions, electrical issues with outlets/switches, and plumbing problems.
The building has open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 indicating pest infestations (roaches and mice) in Apartment 1, along with violations related to wall and ceiling conditions. Two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 related to boiler and chimney maintenance have significant penalties attached ($3,625 total). While the building has passed several rodent inspections between 2015 and 2024, there were unsanitary conditions reported in March 2024 regarding pests, and various electrical and maintenance issues have been persistent.
The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of ongoing issues, particularly with electrical systems, paint/plaster conditions, and heating/hot water systems. There were also multiple instances in 2024 where HPD inspectors could not gain access to inspect reported conditions, which required tenants to file new complaints. However, on a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections over the years, and there have been no recorded bedbug infestations since at least 2019. The property has undergone various inspections and received several violations related to fire safety egress and escape routes between 2022-2024, indicating some concerns about emergency preparedness, though many of these violations were subsequently closed.
