Questions about this building

Does 178 Amboy Street, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 178 Amboy Street, Brooklyn had 128 open violations on October 10, 2026: 127 from HPD and 1 from OATH/ECB. 31 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 9 years, since May 31, 2017.

Is 178 Amboy Street, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 31 open Class C, with 0 certifications filed and 5 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends October 10, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 178 Amboy Street, Brooklyn?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 9 Class C violations: 8 by the original certify-by date, 1 after it. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 178 Amboy Street, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 7 active DOB violations. The newest was issued November 14, 2025. 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.

Is 178 Amboy Street, Brooklyn in housing court?

Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened February 19, 2026. 2 housing court cases here since 2026. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

Has DOB received complaints about 178 Amboy Street, Brooklyn?

Yes. 1 DOB complaint in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. It was filed July 21, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 178 Amboy Street, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 3 completed HPD emergency repair orders since October 12, 2023, awarded for $1,556 in total. The most recent of the 3, a general construction order, was opened January 7, 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.

Is 178 Amboy Street, Brooklyn rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

Does 178 Amboy Street, Brooklyn have a property tax exemption?

The building has a 420-c tax exemption on DOF's 2026/27 roll. An exemption lowers a property's tax bill by reducing its assessed value.

When was 178 Amboy Street, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1930 as the year 178 Amboy Street, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up building with 4 floors.

How many apartments does 178 Amboy Street, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 14 residential units at 178 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 OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOF's tax lien sale lists, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, HPD emergency repair orders and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOF's tax lien sale lists, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, 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.
