443 Alabama Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 84-unit, 4-story building at 443 Alabama Avenue in East New York, owned by Renee Wright, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints reported between January and May 2025, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments. The building currently has open violations from December 2024 regarding access to the heating system and hot water issues in apartments 2B and 3A.

There are also persistent plumbing issues, as evidenced by multiple service requests in May 2025 for bathroom and sink problems, along with a February 2025 report of mold in apartment 2A that was initially classified as both Class A and B violations. The property has shown some responsiveness to repair requests, with several complaints being closed after inspections or reported corrections, including a refrigerator inspection in January 2025 that found no housing code violations. Recent inspections have indicated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past three filing periods.

Historical records show varying rodent inspection results, with most recent inspections passing, though there was one failure noted in 2016. The building has also undergone Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections, with the most recent in July 2023 resulting in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection. While the building has had multiple violations and service requests over the past couple of years, many have been resolved through inspections and repairs, though some key issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, appear to be recurring problems that require ongoing attention.
