254 Amboy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

254 Amboy Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1986 and currently owned by Michael Friedman. The building has recently experienced several concerning incidents related to safety and maintenance, with the most pressing issues occurring in April 2025. These included complaints about indoor air quality (ventilation) and carbon monoxide detector concerns that resulted in official notices to the owner.

Additionally, there was a report of unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, though this was found not to violate housing laws during inspection. The building has a history of construction-related complaints, particularly during 2022, with multiple incidents regarding work beyond approved plans and excessive debris that resulted in stop work orders, though these were eventually rescinded. Three separate construction safety compliance actions were recorded between May and November 2022.

More recently, between late 2023 and 2025, there have been two confirmed periods of bedbug inspections showing zero infestation cases (November 2023 - October 2024 and December 2024 - October 2025), indicating effective pest management. The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in late 2023 regarding work without permits and construction violations, but no violations were found during these inspections. It's worth noting that while several complaints have been filed and inspected over the years, many have been resolved without finding violations, though the recent safety-related issues warrant attention.
