2802 Albemarle Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 2802 Albemarle Road in East Flatbush, owned by Vida Ankamah and constructed in 2006, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant problems occurring between December 2023 and July 2024. The building has faced multiple heating and hot water system failures, with emergency complaints filed in both July 2024 and December 2023.

A December 2023 inspection resulted in numerous violations in Apartment 1, including problems with heat supply, defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and issues with kitchen cabinets. The building's systems appear to require regular attention, with emergency plumbing and water supply issues reported as recently as July 2024. Additional concerns include an open violation from April 2024 regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement, and multiple access-related issues where inspections could not be completed due to lack of apartment access, particularly regarding heating and hot water problems in February-April 2024 and December 2022.

The building has also experienced hardware problems, with door and window issues documented in multiple complaints, though not all inspections resulted in violations. The most recent inspections indicate a need for various repairs, including addressing excessively hot water temperatures, kitchen cabinet maintenance, and the proper functioning of security hardware. While many complaints have been resolved through HPD intervention, with some cases requiring re-complaint for persistent issues, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic systems and hardware functionality.
