Albany’s infrastructure story goes below the fresh pavement.

The city’s October update points to streets, sidewalks, pathways and lighting—as well as sewer and storm-drain systems. Those are different systems, and a visible improvement doesn’t tell you the status of everything underneath it.

One concrete item to check: the city lists a 2026 Sanitary Sewer & Storm Drain Rehabilitation Project along Marin, Kains, Albany Terrace and Tevlin, with a tentative September 2026–March 2027 construction window. Tentative is the key word; check the latest project notice for your specific block.

My homeowner checklist:
• Is this project actually on my block?
• Is the relevant phase complete or still planned?
• Will access or parking change?
• Who can confirm the current scope and schedule?

My view: understand the specific work before drawing conclusions about a property. A citywide infrastructure headline is useful context, not a home valuation or a substitute for property inspections.

Save this checklist for the next construction notice.
