229 Albany Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The three-story, two-family house at 229 Albany Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Colleen Mcentee, has experienced several significant safety and maintenance issues since 2019. The most concerning pattern emerged in 2021, when the building faced multiple violations related to electrical wiring, with four separate complaints about defective/exposed wiring between January and September 2021.
These safety concerns were addressed through Oath violations being served, though they represent a serious pattern of electrical maintenance issues. The building also faced serious challenges in 2021 regarding compliance with vacate orders, with violations recorded in January, including a construction enforcement work order for disobeying a vacate order. Additional safety concerns were documented through gas utility referrals during the same period.
A notable period of instability occurred in late 2020, when the building was reported as vacant, open, and unguarded in September, though this was determined not to warrant violations upon inspection in October 2020. The property has multiple violations related to failure to certify correction on immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations, with some of these being dismissed between 2019 and 2024. While most recent violations have been dismissed, the history of electrical wiring issues and vacate order non-compliance in 2021 indicates a period of significant maintenance challenges for this property.
