Augrented Insights Report for 178 Amboy Street

178 Amboy Street is a 4-story, 14-unit apartment building in Brownsville, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Iyanu Houses LP. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints documented between January and April 2025, including building-wide and apartment-specific problems. These issues prompted several HPD inspections, with one inspection revealing inadequate hot water in Apartment 1C and visible mold conditions in the same unit's south closet ceiling and east wall.

The building has active violations from December 2024 regarding a locked boiler room access door and defective entrance door hinges. In summer 2025, additional emergency maintenance requests were filed for plumbing issues in toilets and sinks, along with a refrigerator problem. The building's maintenance history shows persistent concerns with building infrastructure and systems.

Multiple violations remain open as of 2025, including issues with self-closing doors, water leaks, and refuse accumulation in public areas. Notably, there was one period of bedbug infestation reported in 2022 (affecting three units), while the most recent annual report for 2023 indicates no infestations. The property has also experienced rodent-related issues, with an initial inspection in September 2018 resulting in a failure to comply, though a subsequent inspection in November 2018 passed. The Department of Buildings has an active violation as of September 2024 regarding the failure to file for a 2023 external low-pressure inspection.
