Augrented Insights Report for 278 Albany Avenue

278 Albany Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit apartment building constructed in 1910 in Crown Heights, currently owned by Doron Yaghoubi. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant issues, most notably a recent heat and hot water complaint in February 2025 affecting the entire building, which was investigated by HPD but found not to violate housing laws.

Between 2022-2023, there was a cluster of issues primarily affecting Apartment 3, including pest infestations (roaches and mice), flooring problems, and various window repairs needed, all of which were eventually addressed. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues between 2022-2023, including problems with the mailboxes, unsanitary conditions, plumbing fixtures, and flooring/stairs, with one flooring complaint from August 2022 remaining uninspected due to access issues. A notable violation was issued in 2022 regarding obstructions on fire escape routes, specifically flower pots at balcony on the 3rd story.

Recent inspections between 2020-2025 show no evidence of bedbug infestations, as all annual reports filed during this period indicate zero infested units. Additionally, the building passed a rodent inspection in March 2018, and a complaint regarding parking lot lights from 2019 was found to be unsubstantiated. While many of the building's previous violations have been closed, some historical issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding unit 3 where multiple repairs and treatments were required.
