437 Amber Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-unit, three-story building at 437 Amber Street in East New York, owned by Andres Diaz, has experienced a series of recurring regulatory compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, the property has consistently failed to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) during inspections conducted between 2021 and 2024.

These violations represent an ongoing pattern of non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements as the same violation was issued annually over this four-year period, with the most recent open violation recorded in April 2024. More concerning is the building's current occupancy status, as it is reportedly occupied without a valid Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) according to a May 2025 Department of Buildings (DOB) violation.

The property was operating under a temporary C of O that expired in November 2007, approximately 17 years ago, and this violation remains active as of the most recent data. Additionally, there was a complaint filed in September 2024 regarding an illegal or non-compliant occupancy status, and while this was marked as closed in March 2025, it suggests regulatory scrutiny of the building's occupancy status. On a positive note, a rodent inspection conducted in July 2012 resulted in a passing grade, though this is dated and may not reflect current conditions.
