Is 1940 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 15 open Class C, with 2 certifications filed and 0 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends September 27, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 1940 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 11 Class C violations, all 11 by the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 1940 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 4 active DOB violations. The newest was issued August 2, 2024. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Is 1940 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan in housing court?

Yes. 2 open housing court cases. The newest opened June 10, 2026. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

What is the ENERGY STAR score for 1940 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan?

ENERGY STAR score 53 for 2024, against a median of 67 for Multifamily Housing that year. Buildings over 25,000 square feet report their energy use to the city every year under Local Law 84. The ENERGY STAR score runs from 1 to 100 and compares a building with similar ones nationwide; 50 is the national median. The score is the one the city publishes, and this page never estimates a Local Law 97 emissions penalty. A lot that reported several properties in one year is not scored here.

When did 1940 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

On June 12, 2026, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 1940 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered under Article 321, the path for certain affordable housing and houses of worship (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.

When was 1940 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1930 as the year 1940 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 6 floors.

How many apartments does 1940 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 32 residential units at 1940 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, Local Law 84 energy reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 27, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, Local Law 84 energy reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
