429 Amber Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-unit, three-story building at 429 Amber Street in East New York, owned by Than Singh, was constructed in 2004 and has experienced several notable events over its history. Most concerning is the current active violation as of May 2025 regarding occupancy without a valid Certificate of Occupancy (C of O), as the temporary C of O that was issued in 2008 expired in January 2008. The building has experienced recurring water supply issues, with three emergency complaints related to plumbing/water supply problems filed between February 12-13, 2024, and one similar complaint from September 2020.

There were also heat and hot water complaints in February 2024, though HPD was unable to gain access to investigate fully. The building's violation history shows an April 2021 violation regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though records indicate no bedbug infestations have been reported in the building from at least 2020 through the present, with all recent filings showing zero infested or eradicated units. The Department of Buildings has been involved with the property on multiple occasions, including a construction enforcement inspection in April 2025 and a 2024 complaint regarding an expired C of O.

Notably, rodent inspections conducted in July 2012 resulted in a passing grade. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance, with all reports from 2020-2024 showing zero infestations, though there was an issue requiring attention in 2021 when the annual report was not filed. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, particularly related to water supply and heating systems, the most pressing current concern is the building's occupancy status in relation to its Certificate of Occupancy.
