3465 Amboy Road
Analysis
The building’s over‑built status and open safety issues create moderate risk, but its large unit sizes and clean title provide some upside. Proceed with caution and budget for resolving violations.
The good
- No enforcement penalties and no legal proceedings
- No tax lien and no arms‑length sale recorded, indicating clear title
- Average unit size of 1,371 sq ft, generous for the market
- Four‑story building with modest total floor area
The bad
- Built beyond its residential floor‑area limit (0.78 FAR vs 0.75 limit)
- 30 open violations (0.4 per unit) and 13 unpaid safety violations
- Safety‑violation penalties of $22,500 remain unpaid
- Market value on record is $0, meaning no recent arm‑length sale to confirm price
Written by a language model from this property's own figures — the same numbers shown on this page. It introduces no facts of its own: every figure it cites is checked against the data before the text is shown. It is a reading of the numbers, not a professional opinion, and it can be wrong about emphasis even when it is right about arithmetic. See our methodology.
What the numbers say
Generated from this property's own figures using the rules set out in our methodology. Every statement below refers to a number shown on this page.
Already larger than residential zoning would allow
The building occupies a floor-area ratio of 0.78, against a residential limit of 0.75 — it is over that limit by 0.03. A building in this position almost always predates the current rules and is legally non-conforming: it may generally remain, but it typically cannot be enlarged for residential use, and it may not be rebuildable as it stands. A higher limit of 1.00 does apply to community-facility use, which produces an apparent 25,759 sq ft of headroom — but that is not residential floor area and is not interchangeable with it. Reading that number as room for more apartments is the most expensive mistake available in this data.
Unresolved conditions on record
30 violations remain open across 67 residential units (about 0.4 per apartment), against an outstanding penalty balance of $0.00. A significant open count with little money attached usually means habitability items that were never certified as corrected, rather than a few expensive enforcement actions — an administrative problem more than a financial one, though it is still a problem.

Total penalties owed combines two separate debts — enforcement penalties (from summonses) and safety-violation penalties (unfiled inspections and reports on boilers, elevators, facades and energy use). The second kind accrues quietly and is routinely missed; it is a standing debt on the building, not a fine someone can walk away from. The safety figure could not be retrieved for this property, so no total is shown — we would rather show nothing than a total that silently omits it. Neither figure includes unpaid property tax or water and sewer arrears, which are frequently the largest number of all and appear nowhere on this page. For a true payoff figure, go to the city directly.

Owner of record comes from the public land-use record and may lag a recent sale. It is frequently a holding company rather than an individual. If you own or manage this property and believe something here is wrong, tell us — we read and respond to every message of that kind.
Open violations
Open violations only. A violation that was raised and later corrected is not counted — an older building accumulates hundreds of those, and the number says more about its age than its condition.
