2605 Albemarle Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

2605 Albemarle Road is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 2006, currently owned by Lloyd Gentles. The property has recently experienced a concerning pattern of maintenance issues, particularly between January 2025 and May 2025, with multiple emergency complaints including three power outages, heating problems, and various plumbing issues affecting both apartments and common areas. Of particular note is the presence of multiple housing maintenance code violations issued in December 2024, including inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures in Apartment 1 and hot water issues affecting both Apartments 1 and 2.

The building's infrastructure appears to be struggling, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints regarding heat/hot water and electric issues, with many cases resulting in violations that require the owner to correct the conditions within a specified timeframe. Additional inspection records reveal several open violations from September to December 2024, including requirements for proper door maintenance, posting of housing information guide notices, and smoke detector requirement notifications in common areas. There have also been concerns about pest control, with violations noted for unsanitary conditions in January 2025.

While the building passed a compliance rodent inspection in July 2014, previous inspections in June 2014 indicated rat activity. A recent illegal conversion complaint from January 2025 was unable to be fully investigated due to access issues. The building's location, being relatively new construction compared to many in the area, raises questions about the persistence of these recurring maintenance issues, which seem to have intensified in recent months.
