Augrented Insights Report for 15 Albany Avenue

15 Albany Avenue, a 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1904, currently owned by Ilsoo Kim, has experienced significant recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout 2024-2025. This period has seen multiple emergency complaints regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems, with at least seven separate incidents between December 2024 and February 2025, some requiring HPD inspections that resulted in violations being issued.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of infrastructure challenges, including a 2024 bedbug infestation report in one unit and various housing code violations, such as defective window guards and spring balances in apartment 3D (2024), and multiple repair issues in apartment 4C (2021) involving water leaks and plaster surfaces. Recent building concerns also include an elevator-related issue noted in April 2024 that resulted in an Oath Violation, and an environmental control board violation regarding building facade maintenance from 2020, though most violations from inspection periods have been resolved.

Regular rodent inspections between 2018-2024 have consistently passed, suggesting good pest control practices. The building has undergone several permit issuances for construction work between 2018-2020, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements. While there have been some instances of access issues during inspections, particularly regarding heat complaints, most recent violations suggest the property requires improved maintenance of basic services, particularly heating systems, as evidenced by the multiple heat-related complaints in the first half of 2025.
