552 Albany Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement at 552 Albany Avenue in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, owned by the Shira Vezimreh Trust, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2022. The building has faced multiple heating and hot water system problems, with complaints recorded in March 2023 (affecting the entire building) and December 2022 (affecting a single apartment).

There have been significant plumbing-related issues, including problems with toilets, bathtubs/showers, and sinks, with some complaints remaining partially accessible for inspection. September 2022 brought multiple emergency complaints encompassing water leaks, appliance issues (specifically with the electric/gas range), and general cabinet concerns, though many of these inspections could not be completed due to access issues.

The building has also experienced various quality-of-life concerns, including a June 2022 infestation of mice in Apartment 2, and multiple violations related to door self-closing mechanisms in December 2022 and March 2023. Notable compliance issues included the need for carbon monoxide detector repairs in Apartments 5 and 6 (noted in June 2022 violations), as well as various maintenance requirements for kitchen tiles, window locks, and plaster surfaces. While there is one active violation from October 2019 recorded in the Department of Buildings database, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the most recent available reporting period (2023-2024) and previous years also showing zero instances of infestation or eradication.
