801 Albany Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

801 Albany Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in East Flatbush and built in 1931, currently owned by Alin Delvois. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with particularly notable problems emerging in early 2023 when multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently addressed. These included heat/hot water problems, electrical issues (no lighting), pests, and mold, with some violations being formally issued.

The building has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of 2024, including requirements to file annual bedbug reports and address various maintenance issues such as a water leak, mold, and pest infestation in the first-floor apartment (1F). This unit has documented problems with self-closing doors, wood floor damage, bathtub regrounting, plastered surfaces, and paint uniformity in the kitchen ceiling, all of which require attention according to the violations. The building has a history of basic utility problems, including past instances of heat/hot water issues and electrical outages, though these were reportedly resolved quickly when tenants communicated the problems to authorities.

In addition to the recent maintenance concerns, there was a complaint about an illegal conversion in 2020, though the investigation was hampered by access issues. The persistence of maintenance issues, particularly regarding sanitation and basic services, is concerning, though it's worth noting that many complaints have been addressed without resulting in formal violations. The most recent building inspection data indicates ongoing regulatory requirements, including the need for annual bedbug reporting, suggesting this matter requires formal attention from management.
