738 Albany Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203
738 Albany Avenue is a 6-story, 114-unit residential building constructed in 2012, currently owned by Chv 690-738 Albany Avenue Lp in the Prospect-Lefferts Gardens neighborhood. Over the past two years (2024-2025), the building has experienced recurring issues with building-wide heat and hot water outages, with multiple complaints filed in December 2024 and May 2025, though most were resolved promptly. The building has also faced challenges with sanitation, including recent complaints about pests (May 2025) and mold (May 2025), as well as earlier infestations documented in Apartments 5P and 3M in late 2024.
Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2024 through 2025 indicate ongoing maintenance issues, including problems with hot water availability in multiple apartments, heating system access restrictions, and various interior maintenance needs such as cabinet repairs, wall treatments, and flooring issues. The building's infrastructure systems have had several documented concerns, including electrical issues (December 2024) and plumbing problems (2025). Historical records show prior elevator system concerns in 2021, though these were resolved without violations. The elevator system has had periodic violations documented between 2019-2023, though these were ultimately resolved.
The building has maintained a regular schedule of rodent inspections, passing all inspections conducted in 2017, 2022, 2024. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the last five reporting periods (2020-2025), with the last infestation documented in 2018-2019 involving three units, which were subsequently treated. The building's inspection history and violation records suggest ongoing challenges with building systems maintenance and sanitation, particularly regarding heat/hot water availability and pest control. While most recent HPD and Housing Maintenance Code complaints have been resolved without violations being issued, the pattern of recurring issues indicates potential systematic maintenance challenges within the building.
