Is 1821 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan getting better or worse?
Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 10 certifications filed against 1 new Class C in the last 180 days. That window ends September 26, 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 1821 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 13 Class C violations: 8 by the original certify-by date, 5 after it. 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.
Is an HPD vacate order in effect at 1821 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan?
Yes. HPD's vacate order for part of the building has been in effect since May 8, 2013. Reason on the order: fire damage. A vacate order requires all or part of a building to be emptied for the reason on the order, and it stays in effect until HPD rescinds it. HPD Online shows whether an order has been rescinded since.
Does 1821 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan have active DOB violations?
Yes. 2 active DOB violations. The newest was issued April 6, 2018. 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.
Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 1821 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan marked completed?
Yes. 3 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 28, 2023, awarded for $1,560 in total. The most recent of the 3, a general construction order, was opened April 7, 2026. 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 1821 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan?
Rated SWARMP in the latest facade report, filed February 21, 2022 (inspection cycle 9). SWARMP means safe with a repair and maintenance program. 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.
Is 1821 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.

This page is current through September 26, 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.
