202 Amboy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

202 Amboy Street is a 4-story, 20-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Amboy Development West LLC. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, from October to November 2019, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building.

In 2023, there was one violation related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though the building's bedbug filings since then indicate no infestations. The building underwent several electrical and emergency system violations in 2022-2023, including issues with emergency lighting, exit doors, and unauthorized electrical work, all of which were subsequently resolved. The property has faced recurring challenges with building systems and safety features, including documented problems with gas piping systems in 2018-2019, structural issues with the first floor party wall noted in February 2023, and various fire safety concerns. Inspections have revealed inconsistent performance in rodent control compliance, with some failed inspections recorded in 2023 and 2025.

The building's recent history shows improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all filings from 2021-2025 indicating no current infestations. The most recent semi-annual homeless shelter inspection in May 2025 resulted in no violations. While many past violations have been resolved and dismissed, the pattern of recurring maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and compliance. The property has maintained active rodent control efforts, though with mixed inspection results.
