1415 Albany Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The three-story East Flatbush building at 1415 Albany Avenue, owned by Alric Blair, has demonstrated recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly related to heat and hot water systems. Between September 2022 and March 2023, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, with at least seven separate incidents recorded. The most recent significant incident occurred in March 2023, for which violations were issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Additional concerns include an electrical incident in January 2023 involving no lighting, though no violations were found during inspection. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, particularly affecting the first-floor apartment (Apt 1FLO), where multiple violations were documented in March 2023, including issues with a missing sink cabinet door, defective bathtub, and problems with bathroom sanitation. These violations were eventually closed following appropriate actions.

Other areas of concern have included flooring issues and plumbing problems, though inspections generally resulted in no violations being issued. The building's management has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestation cases reported over the past three filing periods from 2019 to 2024. A recent inspection in August 2023 regarding egress issues found no violations. While the property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, most recent violations have been addressed through appropriate remediation measures, and there have been no reported instances of bedbug infestations in the past three years.
