Augrented Insights Report for 639 Albany Avenue

639 Albany Avenue is a 6-story, 63-unit residential building constructed in 1959, currently owned by Jay Gold. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2025, including violations related to intercom system failures, pest infestations, mold, and sanitary conditions.

HPD inspections in May 2025 resulted in violations being issued for the intercom system and pest problems, while separate April 2025 complaints generated violations related to mold, flooring issues, and general maintenance concerns. The building has also faced persistent structural maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violations between 2018 and 2024 regarding the exterior facade, brickwork, and masonry conditions, though many of these historical violations have been resolved. Recent emergency maintenance issues in mid-2025 included problems with doors, stairs, and plumbing fixtures, while the building's elevator service has been a recurring concern, with inspections in 2019, 2023, and 2024 noting problems despite no violations being found at the time of inspections.

The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status from 2021 to 2025, with all annual reports indicating zero infested units. Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with occasional rat activity reported in 2010 and 2019, though more recent compliance inspections have passed. The building's current status shows active violations for failing to file required FISP Cycle 9B technical reports in 2023, and for failing to maintain exterior facade conditions, as documented in 2024 ECB violations.
