Yes. 2142 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan had 19 open violations on September 26, 2026: 2 from OATH/ECB and 17 from HPD. 12 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.
Is 2142 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 12 open Class C, with 6 certifications filed and 1 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. 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 2142 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan?
Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 13 Class C violations: 9 by the original certify-by date, 4 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.
Does 2142 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan have an OATH hearing coming up?
Yes. A hearing on a DOB summons is set for October 22, 2026. 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.
Is 2142 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan in housing court?
Yes. 2 open housing court cases. The newest opened August 5, 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.
Has DOB received complaints about 2142 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan?
Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the last 12 months. The newest was filed July 15, 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.
Does 2142 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan have a certificate of occupancy?
Its latest certificate of occupancy is a final one, issued September 27, 2016. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.
Is 2142 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan rent stabilized?
The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.
When was 2142 Amsterdam Avenue, Manhattan built?

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.
