394 Amboy Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1930 in Brownsville, currently owned by Joel Friedman. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most notable being multiple complaints regarding unsanitary garbage and recycling storage conditions between 2023 and 2024, though no violations were found during inspections. In early 2023, there was a significant heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored promptly.

The building has demonstrated attention to safety compliance, with window guard inspections and repairs completed in February 2023. Several violations related to door security and fire safety were addressed in previous years, including repairs to self-closing doors leading to stairwells and the roof. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2020, with the most recent reports (2023-2024) showing zero affected units.

Recent inspections in 2025 found no rodent issues, passing both initial and follow-up inspections. Historical records indicate the building faced various maintenance challenges between 2019 and 2021, including broken windows, door security issues, and electrical problems, all of which were subsequently addressed. The owner has demonstrated compliance with building codes, as evidenced by the resolution of several Environmental Control Board violations, and has maintained proper documentation regarding bedbug reporting requirements. The most recent permits issued in 2021 suggest ongoing attention to maintenance and improvements, though specific details about the nature of these permits are not provided in the available data.
