Augrented Insights Report for 199 Amboy Street

The 18-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 199 Amboy Street in Brownsville, currently owned by Amboy Development East LLC, has experienced recurring issues with building systems and maintenance over the past several years, with particular concern regarding heating and electrical infrastructure. Between 2023 and 2025, there were multiple emergencies involving heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, with documented incidents on January 1, 2024, October 9, 2023, and several others throughout these years. The building experienced a power outage and associated electrical issues in January 2024, and a gas leak was found on a water heater in October 2023, resulting in a Department of Buildings violation.

The property has also faced challenges with maintenance compliance, including an open violation from 2021 regarding lead-based paint hazard control requirements in apartments 102, 107, and 108. The building's recent compliance history shows a pattern of responding to violations and complaints, though some persistent issues remain. Semi-annual inspections as a homeless shelter have revealed various violations, most recently in 2023 related to plumbing, construction, and electrical systems, with Oath violations served.

While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2025, there were documented rodent activity concerns in February 2023. Bedbug infestations have been relatively contained, with most recent reports (2023-2025) showing zero infested units, though there were previous occurrences in 2019-2020. Various safety concerns have been noted through environmental control board violations, including issues with emergency lighting systems and exit door functionality, though most violations have been resolved without penalties. The building's maintenance history indicates ongoing attention to system failures and resident complaints, though the frequency of heating and hot water emergencies remains concerning.
