A pre-war Brooklyn building operated under strict federal housing covenants.
First built in 1904, this 36-unit building is fully covered by federal housing covenants. The Albany Kingston Housing Development Fund bought the property for $15 million in October 2020, guaranteeing long-term regulatory oversight and rent stability. Three things to know:
One active housing code violation remains on the building ledger. City inspectors logged an open violation for a flooring and stairway issue on June 30, 2026. It is currently the only open city violation on the building, indicating a generally responsive operator who previously cleared out all eight winter heat and hot water complaints from early 2025.
Covenant-backed ownership under a housing development fund. The $15 million purchase in October 2020 by the Albany Kingston Housing Development Fund locked the property into federal housing programs. All 36 units are bound to federal housing contracts. These regulatory covenants travel with the deed, ensuring stable oversight and preventing the units from converting to market rate.
Odors and air quality reports on the surrounding blocks. Over the past year, there were 11 indoor air quality complaints and 5 food establishment venting complaints within three blocks. Odors and chemical vapors in these files often match commercial kitchens or shared risers, making them worth tracking if you're sensitive to fumes.
