2498 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033

The three-story building at 2498 Amsterdam Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Tasha Demitro, has experienced several notable issues since 2018. The most significant problems occurred in September 2021, when multiple plumbing violations were documented in Apartment 3, including inadequate hot and cold water supply, missing bathroom fixtures (bathtub, toilet, washbasin), and exposed electrical wires, marking a period of serious maintenance deficiencies that required multiple emergency responses. While many of these violations were eventually closed, several remain open as of the latest inspection records, including issues with unsafe electrical wiring and inadequate water supply.

The building has undergone regular inspection for signs of rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 showing compliance with passing results, though a "Rat Activity" designation was noted in June 2021. Bedbug inspections over the past several years have consistently reported no infestations. Recent records indicate a violation for failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection as of September 2024, which remains active.

The building experienced heat and hot water issues in 2018 affecting the entire building, as well as electrical problems during that period. Despite these challenges, the building's most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management. The property has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2018 to present, with zero reported cases during the specified periods.
