625 Amboy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 625 Amboy Street in Brownsville, owned by Curtis Ward, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with particular concerns about electrical systems and appliance maintenance. Most significantly, from late October 2023 through June 2024, the building faced multiple electrical problems, including two power outages and several incidents of non-lighting issues that were classified as emergency complaints.

These electrical concerns appear to have been temporarily resolved, as no violations were issued following inspections of the power outage complaints. Additionally, there were multiple appliance-related complaints during the same period, including issues with electric/gas ranges and refrigerators, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access to inspect these reported conditions.

The building has recurring documentation of bedbug reporting violations in its Housing Maintenance Code violations records, dating back to 2021 through 2024, indicating these annual reporting requirements have not been consistently met. While the current electrical issues seem to have stabilized, the open annual bedbug report violation status suggests continuing regulatory compliance challenges. The property, built in 1930, has experienced these various maintenance issues despite being classified as a "Class A" building under the HPD classification system.
