2608 Albemarle Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

2608 Albemarle Road is a 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building located in Flatbush and built in 1912, currently owned by Joan Parris. The building has recently experienced multiple maintenance issues, with January-June 2025 seeing numerous complaints and violations, particularly regarding paint/plaster conditions (walls and ceilings), window frames, doors, and un-sanitary conditions including pest issues. Of particular concern is a safety violation from March 2025 regarding a carbon monoxide detector.

The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges in 2024, with violations in unit 2B related to safety systems (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) and pest infestation issues, while unit 4D had problems with leaks, electrical outlets, and plaster surfaces. Earlier inspections in 2024 revealed various issues including a defective fire retardant material at the bulkhead. The property has no recorded bedbug infestations since 2019, though there were some instances of other pest issues in early 2024, and it has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. The building's recent service history shows a pattern of maintenance issues requiring attention, with several inspections revealing conditions requiring violations to be issued between 2024-2025.

Notably, there were instances in 2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct necessary inspections. While many recent complaints have been closed following inspection, several violations remain open (as of October 2023) requiring owner correction within specified timeframes. The property has also experienced plumbing issues, including an emergency complaint regarding a basin/sink in February 2025. These consistent maintenance challenges suggest ongoing building upkeep requirements, though it's worth noting that the building has been actively responding to and closing out violations as inspections are conducted.
