430 Albee Square, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The 28-story, 150-unit building at 430 Albee Square in Downtown Brooklyn, owned by Joel Gluck, was completed in 2016 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past years. Most recently, in May 2025, there were paint/plaster violations issued by HPD that required attention. The building has had recurring water-related problems, with multiple complaints about heavy water flow issues in 2021 (in apartment 27E) and 2022, as well as mold issues affecting multiple units including 19E (2018), 26C and 26D (2018-2021).

In late 2022, there were serious concerns about heat and hot water supply, with HPD unable to gain access for inspection. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, including a concerning concrete column issue at the 2nd floor in 2021 that resulted in multiple Department of Buildings violations, though these were ultimately dismissed upon resolution. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in recent years, and passed multiple rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025.

Various maintenance violations have been addressed through work permits, including elevator maintenance issues in 2021 and 2022, and building system repairs. Notably, the building underwent significant construction processes managed by Spencer Albee Equities LLC, which faced scrutiny in 2019 for failing to properly distribute tenant protection plans during construction. All documented issues appear to have been addressed based on follow-up inspections and permit certifications. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance issues primarily related to water systems, interior finishes, and occasional structural concerns, though many of these have been resolved through proper channels and inspections.
