Augrented Insights Report for 135 Albany Avenue

135 Albany Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Ismene Speliotis. The property has experienced significant heating system challenges in early 2025, with multiple tenant complaints about heat and hot water issues between January and February 2025, resulting in several HPD violations.

The building's mechanical systems have shown persistent problems, with violations for inadequate hot water supply in apartments 2B and 2C noted in 2024 inspections. More recently, as of October 2024, the building is subject to several open violations, including issues with building entrance door security, fire safety materials in the boiler room, and a rodent infestation in the boiler room. The building's history reveals recurring maintenance concerns, including multiple reports of rat activity in 2022 and 2016, and various electrical and plumbing issues.

There are multiple active DOB violations as of 2024 related to failure to file required external low pressure inspections from 2018 to 2023. The property has also experienced recurring heating system problems, with numerous emergency complaints to HPD about heat and hot water failures between 2024 and 2025. While bedbug reports show no infestations from 2020 to 2025, the building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with infrastructure upkeep and system reliability, particularly regarding heating and plumbing systems.
