Augrented Insights Report for 440 Albany Avenue

The 6-story, 66-unit New Law Tenement at 440 Albany Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by David Fischer, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning was a series of scaffold-related incidents in September 2024 during facade repairs, resulting in workplace safety violations with penalties totaling $100,000 against construction companies. The building has faced multiple heat and hot water outages in December 2024 affecting the entire building, though these were eventually resolved.

As of June 2025, there is an open complaint regarding wall paint/plaster conditions, and several complaints from 2024-2025 related to various maintenance issues including flooring, stairs, ceilings, and intercom systems, some of which were closed after inspections found no violations. Notably, unit D11 on the 4th floor had multiple housing maintenance code violations in March 2024 related to mold, plaster, and paint conditions, though these were certified as corrected by June 2024. The building's rodent control history shows mixed results, with several inspections in 2025 indicating ongoing rat activity and the need for bait applications.

While the bedbug report for 2023-2024 shows no infestations, the building has experienced persistent pest control challenges. Recent elevator-related violations from 2019 remain active, and there are two unresolved DOB violations from late 2024 regarding failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status over multiple reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, though some inspections have shown other pest activity.
