Is 259 Amboy Street, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 12 open Class C, with nothing filed or new in the last 180 days. That window ends September 26, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

Does 259 Amboy Street, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 1 active DOB violation, issued January 9, 2019. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 259 Amboy Street, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 12 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 28, 2023, awarded for $66,159 in total. The most recent of the 12, a general construction order, was opened March 27, 2026. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

When was 259 Amboy Street, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1899 as the year 259 Amboy Street, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a three-family dwelling with 2 floors.

How many apartments does 259 Amboy Street, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 3 residential units at 259 Amboy Street, Brooklyn. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on DOB violations, HPD emergency repair orders and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 26, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own records are the authority on what is open today.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus DOB violations, HPD emergency repair orders and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
