Augrented Insights Report for 191 Amboy Street

Located in Brownsville, 191 Amboy Street is a 4-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Steven Berger. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with emergency complaints documented in 2019, 2020, and most recently in December 2022, all of which were closed with varying resolutions. Between late 2019 and early 2020, significant maintenance concerns emerged, including safety violations related to window guards, carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke detectors, along with multiple unsanitary conditions involving pest infestations, particularly in apartments 84, 85, 88, and 96, which required remediation of roaches and mice problems.

Recent inspections and violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. In 2023, two Environmental Control Board violations were issued regarding improper cellar modifications and ventilation issues, though these were resolved. The building has maintained up-to-date bedbug reporting since 2019, consistently showing zero infested units in recent filings from 2021 through 2025.

Rodent control has been an ongoing concern, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing passed compliance, though earlier inspections in 2023 and 2024 indicated rat activity requiring bait application. The property has also undergone semi-annual homeless shelter inspections from 2021 through 2025, with various violations noted and resolved, including issues with emergency lighting and exit door functionality. While the building's management has addressed many violations over time, the recurring nature of heating system issues and past safety concerns suggests historical challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
