Amboy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

This 5-story, 9-unit residential building in Brownsville, owned by Michael Friedman, was constructed in 2022 and has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months. Between May and June 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions specifically related to pests, with four instances occurring in May 2025 alone, followed by two additional complaints in June 2025.

While some of these complaints were inspected and determined not to violate HPD housing laws, others were closed due to lack of access for inspection. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including electrical outlet/switch problems, a slow water leak, and issues with doors/windows in an emergency situation, all of which were reported between May and June 2025.

Two egress-related complaints were filed and closed in August 2024, one resulting in an Oath Violation. While the building's most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2024 shows zero infestation cases, this follows a consistent pattern since the building's construction, with no bedbug incidents reported in previous periods. The property has undergone multiple inspections and received various violation notices, particularly regarding pest control, though the owner has generally been given opportunities to address these issues before further action is taken.
