320 Albany Street, Manhattan, NY 10280

The 15-story residential building at 320 Albany Street in Battery Park City, owned by John Bandler, was constructed in 1986 and contains 133 units. The property has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being an indoor air quality complaint regarding chemical vapors/odors in October 2024, for which the owner received an advisory to correct the condition.

The building has a history of heating system problems, particularly in May 2021 when multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water were reported, though some were resolved promptly according to tenant reports. The Department of Buildings has conducted multiple tenant safety inspections in early 2025, with generally no violations noted, though there is currently one active construction-related complaint from June 2025 regarding work beyond approved plans. The building has been proactive in addressing compliance requirements, with several Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections conducted in 2024 showing generally favorable outcomes.

Notably, there were two ECB violations issued in 2021 related to failure to post tenant protection plans and construction bill of rights, though these have been resolved. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs, with only one documented case in the 2019-2020 reporting period, and its rodent control measures appear effective, with all inspections between 2010-2019 passing successfully. Multiple permits for exterior work and plumbing have been issued between 2018-2021, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements to the building's infrastructure.
