501 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217
501 Atlantic Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building located in Boerum Hill, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Harry Fang. The building has experienced recurring heating and maintenance issues, with heat/hot water complaints documented in 2018 (entire building), 2019 (entire building), and most recently in March 2024.
Multiple HPD complaints from 2018-2019 regarding unsanitary conditions including garbage/recycling storage, plumbing issues (radiator), and flooring problems were notably marked by the Department's inability to gain access for inspection. In early 2024, significant safety violations were recorded in Apartment 7, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, self-closing door issues, and a fire escape access problem, though these violations were certified as addressed by April 2024. The building has a documented history of pest control measures, with regular rodent bait applications recorded between 2021-2022, though no active infestations have been reported in recent bedbug filings from 2021-2024.
The most recent 311 complaint from February 2025 concerning food poisoning is currently in progress with the Department of Health. In terms of recent maintenance work, a permit was issued in January 2025, and there are indications of work without a proper permit being addressed in February 2025. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, recent records suggest improved compliance with housing maintenance codes, though some ongoing issues remain, such as the most recent heat/hot water complaint in March 2024.
