448 Amboy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The three-story, two-family house at 448 Amboy Street in Brownsville, owned by Khosrow Hakimian and constructed in 2006, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in October 2023, the building faced issues with water leaks and mold that resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The first floor apartment has ongoing violations as of October 2023 requiring repairs to address water leaks, plaster surfaces, and paint conditions in the kitchen, though details about specific violations are available on the HPD website. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints filed in 2019, 2021, and 2022, though in most cases, tenants reported these issues were resolved promptly. Additional maintenance issues have included problems with appliances (notably an electric/gas range in 2023), pests (reported in 2023), and minor building repairs.

The property has undergone various inspections and complaint investigations, including a boiler inspection in December 2022 that found no violations, and an illegal conversion complaint in late 2021 that resulted in an inspector's inability to gain access. While there were rodent inspections conducted in 2012 with one initial failure and one subsequent passing result, bedbug reports from 2021 showed no current infestations. The consistent pattern of heat and hot water complaints (four separate incidents from 2019-2022), along with recent water and mold issues, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, though many complaints have been resolved through HPD intervention.
