28 Alabama Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

28 Alabama Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1921 and currently owned by George Yang. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, with open violations listed in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, each citing failure to file the required annual bedbug report as per the Housing Maintenance Code.

More significantly, the building faced serious facade maintenance issues in 2021 when sections of stucco were reported as falling onto adjacent property, with inspections on April 2, 2021, noting approximately 4'x8' sections of the building facade in disrepair. These conditions triggered multiple violations, including one on July 28, 2021, for failing to comply with a commission's order, resulting in an active penalty of $1,250, as well as an additional violation for failing to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition. The Department of Buildings had also issued a requirement for sidewalk shed installation to protect adjacent areas due to the facade issues, though this particular violation was eventually dismissed.

The building's maintenance history shows mixed results with rodent inspections between 2011 and 2016, with failures noted in 2011 and 2012, though subsequent compliance inspections showed passing results. While the bedbug report violations represent an ongoing compliance issue, the more critical safety concerns appear to have been addressed, as there are no recent records of facade or structural problems since the 2021 violations. The property has maintained its status as a 4-story, 8-unit residential building in the Cypress Hills neighborhood throughout these documented periods.
