49 Albany Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213
The 49 Albany Avenue property, a 4-story, 3-unit building in Bedford-Stuyvesant owned by Todd Leih, has experienced numerous maintenance and compliance issues since 2020, with particular concerns about water damage, mold, and rodent activity. Most recently, in 2025, there are ongoing Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) investigations regarding food establishment violations, as well as evidence of rat activity in July 2025 and February 2025 inspections.
The building has documented water-related problems, with open violations as of October 2024 related to water leaks and mold in Apartment 1, including issues with multiple walls and window frames requiring repair under Housing Maintenance Code sections 27-2026 and 27-2017.3. Historical records show a pattern of infrastructure and maintenance challenges, particularly in 2020 when multiple violations were issued regarding electrical wiring, plumbing issues, and construction compliance.
The building was declared vacant and unguarded in October 2019, and between 2020 and 2021, there were significant safety concerns including blocked egress, which led to various violation penalties. More positively, recent bedbug reports (2021-2024) show no infestations or eradication efforts required during those periods. While some issues have been resolved, such as earlier rodent problems and certain housing violations, the property continues to experience recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water damage and pest control, as evidenced by recent complaint patterns and inspection results.
