543 Albany Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

543 Albany Avenue is a 4-story, 9-unit residential building located in East Flatbush, owned by Chaim Wuzberger and constructed in 2017. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its history, with the most recent being a heat/hot water complaint in December 2024 that was reportedly resolved. A cluster of emergency complaints was recorded in June 2019, including issues with electrical wiring, ceiling paint/plaster, and multiple reports of mold, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

The building's violation history includes an April 2021 citation for failure to file an annual bedbug report, and two complaints in 2019 regarding illegal work/no permit/change in occupancy use, which were also marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" on final attempts. During the construction phase, in 2018, two Environmental Control Board violations were issued to Prestige Construction NY for inadequate housekeeping on the construction site and for failing to provide PE approved design drawings, though these were resolved with no penalties imposed. The building's bedbug reporting record from 2021 through 2024 shows zero infested units, with consistent reporting of eradicated cases.

However, there were rodent inspection issues noted in 2017, with the building failing during initial inspections in July and August, though it passed subsequent inspections in January 2018. The most recent bedbug report (December 2024) and previous filings show no infestations over the past five years, suggesting successful pest management. While there have been various maintenance concerns over the building's history, particularly during its initial years of operation, many of these issues were either resolved or have not recurred in recent years, with the exception of the recent heat/hot water complaint in December 2024. The building's annual bedbug reporting indicates effective management of this particular issue, with no documented cases since 2020.
