Questions about this building

Does 1970 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan have open violations?

Yes. 1970 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan had 31 open violations on September 27, 2026: 2 from OATH/ECB and 29 from HPD. 21 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 3 years, since April 24, 2023.

Is 1970 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 21 open Class C, with 1 certification filed and 7 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.

Does 1970 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. 2 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on April 22, 2027. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.

Does 1970 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan have active DOB violations?

Yes. 5 active DOB violations, most of them for elevator affirmations of correction. The newest was issued May 28, 2026. 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.

Has DOB received complaints about 1970 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan?

Yes. 5 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed July 8, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 1970 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan marked completed?

Yes. 4 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 29, 2023, awarded for $11,982 in total. The most recent of the 4, a general construction order, was opened September 6, 2024. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

What did the latest facade report find at 1970 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan?

Rated Safe in the latest facade report, filed July 14, 2025 (inspection cycle 9). Buildings taller than six stories must have their exterior walls inspected once in every inspection cycle under the city's Facade Inspection Safety Program (every five years under DOB's current rule), and each inspection report is filed with DOB as Safe, SWARMP (safe with a repair and maintenance program) or Unsafe. No Report Filed means DOB has no report for that cycle. The rating is from the latest filing and does not describe the facade today; DOB's page for the building shows anything filed since.

Are any DOB work permits in effect at 1970 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan?

Yes. 2 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for Plumbing work, was issued September 15, 2026. A permit in effect allows the work it names. It does not mean the work has started or finished, or that it fixes any violation on this page.

What is the ENERGY STAR score for 1970 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan?

ENERGY STAR score 100 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 1970 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan last file its bedbug report?

On March 20, 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 1970 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered as a city-owned or NYCHA building (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 1970 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan built?

The city's record gives 1985 as the year 1970 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator apartment building with 13 floors.

How many apartments does 1970 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 180 residential units at 1970 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 OATH hearing dates, DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, 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 OATH hearing dates, DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, 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.
